Famous quotes containing the words mallet and/or rural:

    But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
    Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.

    We realize that we are laggards from the past century, still living in what Marx kindly calls ‘the idiocy of rural life,’ and we know that our rural life is like that of the past, not like that of much of the present.
