Green Pearl

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or pearl:

“the absolute flight and rest
The universal blue
And local green suggest.”

“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
