Prefer Green

Famous quotes containing the words prefer and/or green:

    “You prefer a woman under the earth,
    you heap roses above a grave;
    a woman under the earth
    is safe,
    a woman dead
    is beloved.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
