Singing Grass

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:

    Meanwhile, the men, with vestiges of pomp,
    Race memories of king and caravan,
    High-priests, an ostrich, and a juju-man,
    Go singing through the footpaths of the swamp.
    Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    I have been here before,
    But when or how I cannot tell:
    I know the grass beyond the door,
    The sweet keen smell,
    The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
