Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    Instead of singing like the birds, I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The conqueror at least; who, ere Time renders
    His last award, will have the long grass grow
    Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.
    If I might augur, I should rate but low
    Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
    Mock tyrants, when Rome’s annals wax’d but dirty.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
