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)

    But bear in mind your lover’s wage
    Is what your looking-glass can show,
    And that he will turn green with rage
    At all that is not pictured there.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
