Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    I want mother’s milk,
    that good sour soup.
    I want breasts singing like eggplants,
    and a mouth above making kisses.
    I want nipples like shy strawberries
    for I need to suck the sky.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Give me the splendid silent sun
    with all his beams full-dazzling,
    Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
    Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
    Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
    Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
