Green Islands

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or islands:

“We are born with luck
which is to say with gold in our mouth.
As new and smooth as a grape,
as pure as a pond in Alaska,
as good as the stem of a green bean
we are born and that ought to be enough....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“we are so many
and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”
