Famous quotes containing the words bright, green and/or cities:

    Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
    Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
    May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
    And never but in unapproached Light
    Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
    Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
    Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
    Whose Fountain who shall tell?
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The old priest Peter Gilligan
    Was weary night and day;
    For half his flock were in their beds,
    Or under green sods lay.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It’s the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
