Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    Meanwhile, the men, with vestiges of pomp,
    Race memories of king and caravan,
    High-priests, an ostrich, and a juju-man,
    Go singing through the footpaths of the swamp.
    Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)
