Famous quotes containing the word greenery:

    The senseless drowned
    Have faces nobody would care to see,
    But water loves those gradual erasures
    Of flesh and shoreline, greenery and glass,
    Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    I light matches and put them in my mouth,
    and my teeth melt but the greenery hisses on.
    I drink blood from my wrists
    and the green slips out like a bracelet.
    Couldn’t one of my keepers get a lawn mower
    and chop it down if I turned inside out for an hour?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
