Hamlin Garland Quotes Page 1 of 1Hamlin Garland September 14, 1860 - March 4, 1940 Nationality: American Category: Novelist Subcategory: American Novelist
| There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers' wives. | I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. | Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy. | My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful. |
