Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or green:

    “Sweet death, small son, our instrument
    Of immortality,
    Your cries and hungers document
    Our bodily decay.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    “Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
    Withdraws into its happiness;
    The mind, that ocean where each kind
    Does straight its own resemblance find;
    Yet it creates, transcending these,
    Far other worlds and other seas,
    Annihilating all that’s made
    To a green thought in a green shade,”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
