Famous quotes containing the words white and/or plains:

    “With sweetest milk, and sugar, first
    I it as mine own fingers nurst.
    And as it grew, so every day
    It wax’d more white and sweet than they.
    It had so sweet a Breath!”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “We hold on to hopes for next year every year in western Dakota: hoping that droughts will end; hoping that our crops won’t be hailed out in the few rainstorms that come; hoping that it won’t be too windy on the day we harvest, blowing away five bushels an acre; hoping ... that if we get a fair crop, we’ll be able to get a fair price for it. Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.”
    —Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
