Coal Fields

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or fields:

“In those days, the blag slag, the waste of the coal pits, had only begun to cover the side of our hill. Not enough to mar the countryside nor blacken the beauty of our village. For the colliery had only begun to poke its skinny black fingers between the green.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

“The world’s great day is growing late,
Yet strange these fields that we have planted
So long with crops of love and hate.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
