Famous quotes containing the words green and/or dragon:

    If you meet a cross-eyed person
    you must plunge into the grass,
    alongside the chilly ants,
    fish through the green fingernails
    and come up with the four-leaf clover....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
