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)
“in the grass near you
your scions are uprising,
fernlike, trustful.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
