Famous quotes containing the words green and/or set:
“Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
end;
For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“But beauty is set apart,
beauty is cast by the sea,
a barren rock,
beauty is set about
with wrecks of ships....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
