Green Ridge State

Famous quotes containing the words green, ridge and/or state:

    But bear in mind your lover’s wage
    Is what your looking-glass can show,

    At all that is not pictured there.

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower—

    So that the life of a writer, whatever he might fancy to the contrary, was not so much a state of composition, as a state of warfare; and his probation in it, precisely that of any other man militant upon earth,—both depending alike, not half so much upon the degrees of his WIT—as his RESISTANCE.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
