Age Green

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or green:

“Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have
To wear away this long age of three hours
Between our after-supper and bedtime?”

“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
