Famous quotes containing the words green and/or ribbon:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland.

“perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
sternly allotted sandpile

comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
