Standard Green

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or green:

“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”

“The body dies; the body’s beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.”
