Country Sold

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or sold:

“Language is filled
with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”

“It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
