European Green

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or green:

    No European spring had shown him the same intermixture of delicate grace and passionate depravity that marked the Maryland May.

    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)
