With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green corn-field did pass,

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring. — William Shakespeare
Somewhere, things must be beautiful and vivid. Somewhere else, life has to be beautiful and vivid and rich.

Hooves clomping over the whitewashed planks, Doren sprinted along the boardwalk after Rondus, a portly satyr with butterscotch fur and horns that curved away from each other.

When I say forever,' Koschei whispered, 'I mean until the black death of the world. An Ivan means just the present moment, the flickering light of it, in a green field, his mouth on yours.

It is all a question of sensitiveness. Brute force and overbearing may make a terrific effect. But in the end, that which lives by delicate sensitiveness. If it were a question of brute force, not a single human baby would survive for a fortnight. It is the grass of the field, most frail of all things, that supports all life all the time. But for the green grass, no empire would rise, no man would eat bread: for grain is grass; and Hercules or Napoleon or Henry Ford would alike be denied existence. — D. H. Lawrence

Did you exchange a walk-on part in a war for a lead role in a cage? — Roger Waters
