Famous quotes containing the words grass and/or blue:
“They live everywhere
on forest grass and water
that they’ve taken for themselves
and even then,
the love of a buck and his doe
ends only in death.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
