Green Earth

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or earth:

    But bear in mind your lover’s wage
    Is what your looking-glass can show,
    And that he will turn green with rage
    At all that is not pictured there.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Fit gravefellows you are for Lincoln, Brown
    And Douglass and Toussaint. . . all whose rapt eyes
    Fashioned a new world in this wilderness.
    American earth is richer for your bones;
    Our hearts beat prouder for the blood we inherit.
    Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
