Modern Green Roof

Famous quotes containing the words modern, green and/or roof:

    “In the deeper layers of the modern consciousness ... every attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success. This is our intolerable dilemma: that failure is a kind of death and success is evil and dangerous, is—ultimately—impossible.”
    —Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

    “Reptilian green the wrinkled throat,
    Green as a bough of yew the beard;
    He bent his head, and so I smote;”
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    “But whenever the roof came white
    The head in the dark below
    Was a shade less the color of night,
    A shade more the color of snow.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
