Famous quotes containing the words translucent and/or green:

    “Listen where thou art sitting
    Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
    In twisted braids of lilies knitting
    The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
    Listen for dear honour’s sake,
    Goddess of the silver lake,
    Listen and save.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Green as a bough of yew the beard;
    He bent his head, and so I smote;”
