Carl Sandburg Quotes

Didn't you tie the mittens on her feet (Wednesday Evening's) extra special nice?

And if you look deep in her eyes when her eyes are open you will see lights there exactly like the lights on the pastures and the meadows when the mist is drifting on a Wednesday evening just between the twilight and gloaming.

Carl Sandburg
