Green Springs

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or springs:

    And a man of tan engages
    For the springtime of her pride,
    Eats the green by easy stages,
    Nibbles at the root beneath
    With intimidating teeth.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Our hearts seemed safe in our breasts and sang to the
    Light—
    The marrow in the bone
    We dreamed was safe . . . the blood in the veins, the
    sap in the tree
    Were springs of Deity.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
