Green Vest

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or vest:

“they stand so still
in the thunder air, all strangers to one another
as the green grass glows upwards, strangers in the garden.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Here at the fountain’s sliding foot,
Or at some fruit-tree’s mossy root,
Casting the body’s vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide:
There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
Then whets and combs its silver wings,
And, till prepared for longer flights,
Waves in its plumes the various light.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
