Green Tree Trilogy

Famous quotes containing the words green tree, green and/or tree:

    As the shade went up
    And the ambulance came crashing through the dust

    In the volcano and the sea ran far away
    Yellow over the hot sand, green as the green trees.

    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
    Time held me green and dying
    Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

    Every man is a potential genius until he does something.
    Herbert Beerbohm, Sir Tree (1853–1917)
