Birmingham Hall Green

Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or green:

“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)

“Who are the violets now
That strew the green lap of the new-come spring?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
