Famous quotes containing the words main, villages, amber and/or valley:

    Parents need to recognize that the negative behavior accompanying certain stages is just a small part of the total child. It should not become the main focus or be pushed into the limelight.
    Saf Lerman (20th century)

    Before the birth of the New Woman the country was not an intellectual desert, as she is apt to suppose. There were teachers of the highest grade, and libraries, and countless circles in our towns and villages of scholarly, leisurely folk, who loved books, and music, and Nature, and lived much apart with them. The mad craze for money, which clutches at our souls to-day as la grippe does at our bodies, was hardly known then.
    Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)

    Swimmer of noonday, lean for the perfect dive
    To the dead Mother’s face, whose subtile down
    You had not seen take amber light alive.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    In a valley late bees with whining gold
    Thread summer to the loose ends of sleep....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
