field furniture in modern literature

In his book: Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Seeking Truth in the Sciences, Rene Descartes makes no references whatsoever to any form of field closure, exterior seating or troughs, and nor should he in our opinion, it's a good read without any need for untimely interruptions of an agricultural nature.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, however, in chapter two of Crime and Punishment, makes reference not only to a gate but also to a kind of trough: Not seeing any one in the yard, he slipped in, and at once saw near the gate a sink, such as is often put in yards. And so the literary debate begins…

field furniture in the bible

The Bible has 214 references to fields and only 205 mentions of gates which suggests a few stray cattle in the Holy Land.

Of all the books in the bible Ezekiel mentions gates seventeen times, more than anyone else. Your man obviously lived on a farm and had an understanding of the nature of beasts.

Troughs get a mention, once, in GENESIS 24: And she hasted and she emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran unto the well to draw water.

field furniture in Shakespeare

RICHARD III

Act V scene II - a camp near Tamworth [just off the M42]

Enter RICHMOND, OXFORD, BLUNT, HERBERT and others

RICHMOND: The wretched, bloody, and usurping boar, That spoil'd your summer fields and fruitful vines, Swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough In your embowell'd bosoms.


TWELFTH NIGHT

Act II scene I

SEBASTIAN: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me; The malignancy of my gate* might, perhaps, distemper yours; there I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. [*fate, actually but never mind]


ROMEO AND JULIET

Act II scene IV - a street

Enter BENVOLIO and MERCUTIO

MERCUTIO: Where the devil should this Romeo be? Came he not home tonight?

BENVOLIO: Not to his father's; I spoke with his man.

MERCUTIO: Ah, that same pale hard-hearted bench*, that Rosaline! [*wench - this is getting tedious]


MACBETH

Act V scene I - Dunsinane Castle

LADY MACBETH: To bed, to bed! There's knocking at the gate: Come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed! [thank you, now behave]

field furniture in astro-physics

Einstein, in his Theory of Relativity, mentions fields twenty times with no mention of gates whatsoever, but as the fields are either magnetic or gravitational the need for gates is limited as the cattle are clearly held in place by magnets.

Sir Thomas Mallory, in chapter II of the fourteenth book of the Mort d'Arthur - How Sir Percivale Came into a Monastery, Where He Found King Evelake, Which Was an Old Man, has Sir Percivale "aware of an house closed well with walls and deep ditches [good for keeping cattle out] and there he knocked at the gate and was let in, and he alit and was led unto a chamber." [we know King Arthur is not astro-physics, but it didn't fit in anywhere else]
