Prairie Quotes, First Installment

Filed under: — Stormwind @ 7:43 am

Prairie Foxglove at Simpson Prairie by Lisa SpanglerHere is the first installment of what I plan to be a regular feature: great quotes, poems, and songs about the prairie.

Quotes, poems, and songs can evoke the emotional side of prairies, which I hope will help get more people interested in learning about prairie and prairie conservation.

Today’s quotes were spotted on Sioux City Art Center’s web page in a description of an exhibit by Jin Lee called Wind and Prairie:

On the prairie there is sometimes a quiet so absolute that it allows one to begin again, to love the future.

— Robert Adams, To Make It Home: Photographs of the American West, 1989


The prairie path leads to the sky path; the paths are one: the continents are two; and you must make your journey from the prairies to the sky.

— William A. Quayle, The Prairie and the Sea, 1905

    As for quotes, Where the Sky Began is full of great ones.

    Here’s an interesting story. Imagine the implications for prairie plant and invertebrate conservation.
