Now here I come bouncing in.
I wrote a line on the grass, and it is my greatest.
Can the wiseacres tell me the rest?
One suggested the line—
A leaf of grass is the journey-work of heaven—the handkerchief of the Lord.
No. No. No.
But tell me the line I would build a monument to.
It is—
Grass is the uncut hair of graves.—Walter (Walt) Whitman
