Green Springs

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or springs:

    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)

    ...many men choose a wife amid the deft-fingered clerks in preference to the society misses. The woman clerk has studied the value of concentration, learned the lesson that incites to work when a burden bears heavily upon her strength. She knows the word of self- reliance, and the fine courage that springs from the consciousness that a good result has been accomplished by a well-directed effort.
    Clara (Marquise)
