We reap and we sow,
an emergence of pleasure.
The harvest begins.
– Upon Learning, by Melissa Schwartz
It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring,
who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.
– B. C. Forbes
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
– William Blake
Translation by Mary Kinzie
The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow.
Sow an act, and you reap a habit.
Sow a habit and you reap a character.
Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
– James Allen
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
– William Blake
Under the summer roses
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wild red leaves,
Love, with little hands,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful, unanswerable questions.
– Under The Harvest Moon
– Carl Sandburg
Fox dances with delight
whilst owl hoots for joy
– Harvest Moon Rises, by Linda Jackson
Wake up now, look alive,
for here is a day off work just to praise Creation:
the turkey, the squash, and the corn,
these things that ate and drank sunshine, grass, mud, and rain,
and then in the shortening days laid down their
lives for our welfare and onward resolve. . .
Thanksgiving is Creation’s birthday party.
Praise harvest, a pause and sign on the breath of immortality.
– Barbara Kingsolver
