Green Marble

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or marble:

    She never told her love,
    But let concealment, like a worm i’ the bud
    Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought,
    And with a green and yellow melancholy
    She sat like patience on a monument,
    Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Hath homely age th’ alluring beauty took
    From my poor cheek? Then he hath wasted it.
    Are my discourses dull? Barren my wit?
    If voluble and sharp discourse be marred,
    Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
