Famous quotes containing the words village and/or green:
“Ezra Pound still lives in a village and his world is a kind of village and people keep explaining things when they live in a village....

“by Spoon Rivergathering many a shell,
And many a flower and medicinal weed
Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.
At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all,
And passed to a sweet repose.”
