Where the Green Grass Grows
Song lyrics, Everywhere (1997)
“Sometimes it’s hard
To sit and watch the grass grow
Sometimes it’s hard
Cos you’ve gotta mow”

“All around the circle, feeding on the green, green grass were fat and happy horses…”

On Fairy-Stories (1939)
Context: The mind that thought of light, heavy, grey, yellow, still, swift also conceived of magic that would make heavy things light and able to fly, turn grey lead into yellow gold, and the still rock into a swift water. If it could do the one, it could do the other; it inevitably did both. When we can take green from grass, blue from heaven, and red from blood, we have already an enchanter's power.
“No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.”
