Famous quotes containing the words keith and/or green:

    If the barricades went up in our streets and the poor became masters, I think the priests would escape, I fear the gentlemen would; but I believe the gutters would simply be running with the blood of philanthropists.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
    Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
    Is my destroyer.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
