Fielding Positions

Famous quotes containing the words fielding and/or positions:

    All places were now become irksome to her. She found it impossible to fly from infamy, unless she could at the same time fly from herself.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
