GRASS
[ Also see Gardens Herbage Herbs Nature Plants ]

The voice said, Cry, And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the fields:

  Into the oceans's blue.

  Where no print of step hath been.
      - John Milton, Arcades

  And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
    Shovel them under and let me work.
      . . . .
        I am the grass.
          Let me work.
      - Carl Sandburg, Grass

Ay, sir, but 'while the grass grows'--the proverb is something musty.
      - William Shakespeare,

         (Hamlet at III, ii)

How lush and lusty the grass looks! how green!

Whylst grass doth grow, oft sterves the seely steede.
