Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. Oscar Wilde
I recall feeling an almost delicious terror when one day I found myself alone in the midst of tall June grasses that grew high as my head. But here the secret working of self consciousness is almost too entangled with the things of the past for me to explain it. Pierre Loti
I go forth to seek - To seek and claim the lovely magic garden Where grasses softly sigh and Muses speak. Anna Akhmatova
Modern life is so thin and shallow and fake. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan gets poorer and wild grasses take over. Hayao Miyazaki
Under the sun the summer grasses fade. The rose, expiring after the harsh ravage Of the heat, languishes toward the shade. Sleep drips from the foliage. Renée Vivien
Hark, below, the many-voiced earth, The chanting of the old religious trees, Rustle of far-off waters, woven sounds Of small and multitudinous lives awake, Peopling the grasses and the pools with joy, Uttering their meaning to the mystic night! William Vaughn Moody
