Green Left

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or left:

“The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
Riots with his tongue through the hush—
Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!”

Search me. What’s left is drear.
Unchilded and unwifed, I’m
Able to view that clear:
So final. And so near.”
