Famous quotes containing the words curl and/or field:

    An object among dreams, you sit here with your shoes off
    And curl your legs up under you;
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
