Famous quotes containing the words keith and/or green:

    Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf is better than a whole loaf.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Like the bee that now is blown,
    Honey-heavy on my hand,
    From his toppling tansy-throne
    In the green tempestuous land—
    Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)
