Evanescent Field

Famous quotes containing the words evanescent and/or field:

    The thing about Proust is his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain. He is as tough as catgut and as evanescent as a butterfly’s bloom.

    Something told the wild geese
    It was time to go.
    Though the fields lay golden
    Something whispered—”Snow.”
