Left Green Parallelogram

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or green:

    “What’s this, Aurora Leigh,
    You write so of the poets and not laugh?
    Those virtuous liars, dreamers after dark,
    Exaggerators of the sun and moon,
    And soothsayers in a tea-cup? I write so
    Of the only truth-tellers, now left to God,—
    The only speakers of essential truth,
    Opposed to relative, comparative,
    And temporal truths;...
    The only teachers who instruct mankind,
    From just a shadow on a charnel-wall.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “And a man of tan engages
    For the springtime of her pride,
    Eats the green by easy stages,
    Nibbles at the root beneath
    With intimidating teeth.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
