Pleasant Green

Famous quotes containing the words pleasant and/or green:

    Hope, deceitful though it be, is at least of this good use to us—that while we are traveling through this life, it conducts us by an easier and more pleasant way to our journey’s end.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
