Famous quotes containing the word juliana:

    “My mind was once the true survey
    Of all these meadows fresh and gay,
    And in the greenness of the grass
    Did see its hopes as in a glass;
    When Juliana came, and she,
    What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
