• El golf ya no es un juego de golpear la bola, encontrarla y volver a golpearla. Hay que medir el viento, ya sea lanzando briznas de hierba al aire o estudiando el suave movimiento de ramas de 18 metros de altura. Hay conferencias de caddie incluso para los golpes más rutinarios. Hay psicólogos deportivos que dicen a los jugadores que no golpeen hasta que estén preparados.

• Savia que sube, y flores que empujan,
  Tu infancia es una enramada:
  Deja que mis dedos vaguen por el musgo
  Donde brilla el capullo de rosa
  Déjame entre las hierbas limpias
  Beber las gotas de rocío
  Que salpican la tierna flor

  Paul Verlaine

• Now is the month of Maying, When merry lads are playing. Fa la la... Each with his bonny lass, upon the greeny grass. Fa la la... The Spring clad all in gladness, Doth laugh at winter's sadness. Fa la la.

• Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;
  And spring comes green again to trees and grasses
  Where petals have been shed like tears
  And lonely birds have sung their grief.
  ...After the war-fires of three months,
  One message from home is worth a ton of gold.
  ...I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin
  To hold the hairpins any more.

  Du Fu

• When loud by landside streamlets gush,
  And clear in the greenwood quires the thrush,
  With sun on the meadows
  And songs in the shadows
  Comes again to me
  The gift of the tongues of the lea,
  The gift of the tongues of meadows.
  So when the earth is alive with gods,
  And the lusty ploughman breaks the sod,
  And the grass sings in the meadows,
  And the flowers smile in the shadows,
  Sits my heart at ease,
  Hearing the song of the leas,
  Singing the songs of the meadows.

• Yes, I will spend the livelong day
  With Nature in this month of May;
  And sit beneath the trees, and share
  My bread with birds whose homes are there;
  While cows lie down to eat, and sheep
  Stand to their necks in grass so deep;
  While birds do sing with all their might,
  As though they felt the earth in flight.

• Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced by compositional logic, an eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception. How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of ‘Green?’ How many rainbows can light create for the untutored eye?

• Creation isn't forcing or commanding something into existence. It's more of a rolling over, a good stretch, blissing out, lying on the grass watching the flowers blowing in the breeze or the clouds floating by.

• I have need of the sky,
  I have business with the grass;
  I will up and get me away where the hawk is wheeling
  Lone and high,
  And the slow clouds go by.
  I will get me away to the waters that glass
  The clouds as they pass.
  I will get me away to the woods.

• Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps. A revolution in consciousness is an empty high without a revolution in the distribution of power. We are not interested in the greening of Amerika except for the grass that will cover its grave.

• Por alguna casualidad, aquí están, todos en esta tierra; y quién contará jamás la pena de estar en esta tierra, tendidos, sobre edredones, sobre la hierba en una tarde de verano, entre los sonidos de la noche. Que Dios bendiga a mi gente, a mi tío, a mi tía, a mi madre, a mi buen padre, oh, recuérdalos con bondad en su tiempo de angustia; y en la hora de su partida.

• I shall not rest quiet in Montparnasse.
  I shall not lie easy at Winchelsea.

  You may bury my tongue at Champmedy.
  I shall not be there. I shall rise and pass.
  Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

• The little boy had wandered away from his mother, tacking across the grass toward the play structure. His mother watched him go, proud, tickled, unaware that every time they toddled away from you, they came back a little different, ten seconds older and nearer to the day when they left you for good. Pearl divers in training, staying under a few seconds longer every time.

• One particular aspect of Siddhartha’s revelation of the outside world has always struck me. Quite possibly he lived his first thirty years without any knowledge of number. How must he have felt, then, to see crowds of people mingling in the streets? Before that day he would not have believed that so many people existed in all the world. And what wonder it must have been to discover flocks of birds, and piles of stones, leaves on trees and blades of grass! To suddenly realise that, his whole life long, he had been kept at arm’s length from multiplicity.

• Mis jóvenes nunca trabajarán, los hombres que trabajan no pueden soñar; y la sabiduría nos llega en sueños. Me pides que ara la tierra. ¿Tomaré un cuchillo y desgarraré el pecho de mi madre? Entonces, cuando muera, ella no me acogerá en su seno para que descanse. Me pides que cave en busca de piedra. ¿Cavaré bajo su piel en busca de sus huesos? Entonces cuando muera no podré entrar en su cuerpo para nacer de nuevo. Me pides que corte hierba y haga heno y lo venda y sea rico como los hombres blancos. Pero, ¿cómo me atrevo a cortarle el pelo a mi madre?

• I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours. I found it quite enthralling.
