Farm Hand

Famous quotes containing the words farm and/or hand:

    What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff and the wheat, weeds and plants, blight, rain, insects, sun—it is a sacred emblem from the first furrow of spring to the last stack which the snow of winter overtakes in the fields.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    One hand stiff—heaviness of forties & menopause reduced
    by one heart stroke, lame now—wrinkles—a scar on
    her head, the lobotomy—ruin, the hand dipping downwards to
    death—
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
