Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    So hills and valleys into singing break;
    And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
    While active winds and streams both run and speak,
    Yet stones are deep in admiration.
    Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
    Make lesser mornings when the great are done.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)
