Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:

    “Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
    The union of this ever-diverse pair!
    These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
    Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    “How sweet I roam’d from field to field
    And tasted all the summer’s pride,
    Till I the Prince of Love beheld
    Who in the sunny beams did glide!”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
