Day 5
I always wondered if Shakespeare had ever undertaken a juice fast. Now I realize he must have done several…
“Green grows the holly, this life is most jolly” – As You Like It
“For, being green, there is great hope of help.” – Henry VI pt. II
“How green you are and fresh in this old world.” – King John
“Poor Tom… that drinks the green mantle of the standing pond.” – King Lear
“Green indeed is the color of lovers” – Love’s Labors Lost
“… everything I look upon seemeth green” = The Taming of the Shrew
“And with a green and yellow melancholy she sat like patience on a monument.” Twelfth Night
But for my favorite vivid, evocative use of the word…
“Time held me green and dying, though I sang in my chains like the sea.” – Dylan Thomas, Fern Hill
