Singing Grass

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 (1564–1616)

    Here they are. The soft eyes open.
    If they have lived in a wood
    It is a wood.
    If they have lived on plains
    It is grass rolling
    Under their feet forever.
    James Dickey (b. 1923)
