Famous quotes containing the word fields:
“The foolish fears of what might happen.
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod
Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
Out in the fields with God.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
