Brown Green

Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or green:

    “Me did he send a love-letter,
    He sent it from the town,
    Saying no more he loved me,
    For that I was so brown.
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 9–12)

    She never told her love,
    But let concealment, like a worm i’ the bud
    Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought,
    And with a green and yellow melancholy
    She sat like patience on a monument,
    Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
