Famous quotes containing the words city and/or green:
“I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically.

—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)
“The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told;
I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
