Image
Let the earth look at me, and bless me, for now I am fecund and sacred, like the palms and the furrows.
Gabriela Mistral
Image
The plough of Time breaks up our Eden-land, And tramples down its fruitful flowery prime. Yet thro' the dust of ages living shoots O' the old immortal seed start in the furrows And, where Love looked on with glorious eye, These quicken'd germs of everlastingness Flower lusty, as of old in Paradise!
Gerald Massey
Image
We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers And water the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Remember that thy heart will shed its pleasures as thine eye its tears, and both leave loathsome furrows.
Philip James Bailey
Image
Historical research to this day remains unorganized, and the historian is expected to make his own instruments or do without them and so with wooden ploughs we continue to draw lonely furrows, most successfully when we strike sand.
Sir Lewis Bernstein Namier
Image
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date But when in thee time's furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate.
William Shakespeare
Image
Come, my friends Tis not too late to seek a newer world Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
See Time has touched me gently in his race, And left no odious furrows in my face.
George Crabbe
Image
Wherever a ship ploughs the sea, or a plough furrows the field wherever a mine yields its treasure wherever a ship or a railroad train carries freight to market wherever the smoke of the furnace rises, or the clang of the loom resounds even in the lonely garret where the seamstress plies her busy needle--there is industry.
James A. Garfield
Image
Man takes a great deal of pains to heap up riches, and they are but like heaps of manure in the furrows of the field, good for nothing unless they be spread.
Matthew Henry
Image
Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The wrinkles in my brow, The furrows in my face, Say, limping age will lodge him now Where youth must give him place.
Thomas Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux of Harrowden
