Famous quotes containing the words land and/or held:

    For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.

    Then moved my Fingers off
    As cautiously as Glass
    And held my ears, and like a Thief
    Fled gasping from the House—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
