Famous quotes containing the words field and/or division:
“My mother thinks us long away;
Tis time the field were mown.
She had two sons at rising day,
To-night shell be alone.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Dont order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they dont know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
