After viewing such a large pasture as the open range presents, which is limitless in extent, the small fenced field or pasture lot of a few acres on the old home farm back east, that looked so large to boyish eyes in years gone by, dwindles by comparison into insignificance and can never again be restored to its former greatness.英文原著 · 《Arizona Sketches》

Sunday morning was not an idle one for the farmer-boy. He must rise tolerably early, for the cows were to be milked and driven to pasture; family prayers were a little longer than on other days; there were the Sunday-school verses to be relearned, for they did not stay in mind over night; perhaps the wagon was to be greased before the neighbors began to drive by; and the horse was to be caught out of the pasture, ridden home bareback, and harnessed.英文原著 · 《The Complete Writings-4》
"Come inside," said the young clergyman. "There are four others waiting in the road," said Gregory. "Then fetch them in too," said the young clergyman.

When the girl had gone, he asked for full particulars, and then gave his verdict. "'Fresh woods and pastures new.'"
"Oh, rubbish!" said Vernon. "I've always learned 'fresh fields and pastures new.'"
"That's what I say," said Mary.英文原著 · 《The Slowcoach》

As I think back to my childhood, it seems to me as if the air was full of hymns, as it was of the fragrance of clover-blossoms, and the songs of bluebirds and robins, and the deep undertone of the sea. And the purity, the calmness, and the coolness of the dear old Sabbath days seems lingering yet in the words of those familiar hymns, whenever I bear them sung. Their melody penetrates deep into my life, assuming me that I have not left the green pastures and the still waters of my childhood very far behind me.英文原著 · 《A New England Girlhood》
