Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:
“My mother had a maid called Barbary;
She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
And did forsake her. She had a song of Willow,
An old thing twas, but it expressed her fortune,
And she died singing it. That song tonight
Will not go from my mind.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“We are wearied of our huts
And the smoky smell of our garments.
We are sick with desire of the sun
And the grass on the mountains.”
—Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 1114)
