Green Brook Township

Famous quotes containing the words green, brook and/or township:

“a shiver, a delight
that what is passing
is here, as if
a snake went by, green in the
gray leaves.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“A brook that was the water of the house,
Cold as a spring as yet so near its source,
Too lofty and original to rage.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
