Famous quotes containing the words green and/or dragon:

    “Who are the violets now
    That strew the green lap of the new-come spring?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
