Green Springs

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or springs:

    a shiver, a delight
    that what is passing
    is here, as if
    a snake went by, green in the
    gray leaves.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    ...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)
