Famous quotes containing the words green and/or springs:

    “There was a green branch hung with many a bell
    When her own people ruled this tragic Eire;
    And from its murmuring greenness, calm of Faery,
    A Druid kindness, on all hearers fell.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerality of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.”
