Green Spring

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or spring:

“She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i’ the bud
Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Ae spring brought off her master hale,
But left behind her ain grey tail:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
