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)

    “When I say artist I don’t mean in the narrow sense of the word—but the man who is building things—creating molding the earth—whether it be the plains of the west—or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction—some with a brush—some with a shovel—some choose a pen.”
    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
