Field Laboratory

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or laboratory:

“Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling,
Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“For a novelist, a given historic situation is an anthropologic laboratory in which he explores his basic question: What is human existence?”
