Putting Green

Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:

    That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush—
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
