Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or grass:
“His singing carried me back to the period of the discovery of America ... when Europeans first encountered the simple faith of the Indian. There was, indeed, a beautiful simplicity about it; nothing of the dark and savage, only the mild and infantile. The sentiments of humility and reverence chiefly were expressed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
Over the grass in the West garden;
They hurt me. I grow older.”
—Li Po (701–762)
