Greens Won

Famous quotes containing the words greens and/or won:

“Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
Key West sank downward under massive clouds
And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“What then in love can woman do?
If we grow fond they shun us.
And when we fly them, they pursue:
But leave us when they’ve won us.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
