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)

    If you meet a cross-eyed person
    you must plunge into the grass,
    alongside the chilly ants,
    fish through the green fingernails
    and come up with the four-leaf clover....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
