Jacobi Fields

Famous quotes containing the words jacobi and/or fields:

    ... spinsterhood [is considered to be] an abnormality of small proportions and small consequence, something like an extra finger or two on the body, presumably of temporary duration, and never of any social significance.
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
    And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
    When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
    Beneath a thick integument of snow.
    So by God’s cheap economy made rich
    To go upon my winter’s task again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
