Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or green:
“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The body dies; the body’s beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
