Red Earth Quotes

Blinking and blind in the sun--
An old, old woman who mumbles her beads
And crumbles to stone.”
― Alice Corbin, Red Earth: Poems of New Mexico

“One will never remember
A greater thing when one dies
Than sunlight falling aslant long rows of corn,
Or rainy days heavy with grey sullen skies.”
― Alice Corbin, Red Earth: Poems of New Mexico

“With a burro to ride and a burro to drive,
There is hardly a man so rich alive.”
― Alice Corbin, Red Earth: Poems of New Mexico
