Green Silk

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or silk:

    When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    All-destroying sword-blade still
    Carried by the wandering fool.
    Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
    Beauty and fool together laid.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
