Famous quotes containing the words green, park and/or stadium:
“It was a green world,
Unchanging holly with the curled
Points, cypress and conifers,
All that through the winter bears
Coarsened fertility against the frost.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
