Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    “His singing carried me back to the period of the discovery of America ... when Europeans first encountered the simple faith of the Indian. There was, indeed, a beautiful simplicity about it; nothing of the dark and savage, only the mild and infantile. The sentiments of humility and reverence chiefly were expressed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “They live everywhere
    on forest grass and water
    that they’ve taken for themselves
    and even then,
    the love of a buck and his doe
    ends only in death.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
