Famous quotes containing the word green:

    We worshipped,
    we parted green from green,
    we sought further thickets,
    we dipped our ankles
    through leaf-mould and earth,
    and wood and wood-bank enchanted us.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    With sudden roar and aged pine-tree falls,—
    One crash, the death-hymn of the perfect tree,
    Declares the close of its green century.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
