Green Whiskers

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or whiskers:

    It was a green world,
    Unchanging holly with the curled
    Points, cypress and conifers,
    All that through the winter bears
    Coarsened fertility against the frost.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    But all the time he was talking she had in mind
    The notion of what his whiskers would feel like
    On the back of her neck.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
