Green Rim

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or rim:

    they stand so still
    in the thunder air, all strangers to one another
    as the green grass glows upwards, strangers in the garden.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
