Description
"The Green Man is typically portrayed as a human face surrounded by dense foliage. Such images appear as far back as the eleventh century, in church carvings. As Christianity spread, the Green Man went into hiding, with stonemasons leaving secret images of his face around cathedrals and churches.[...] The Green Man is believed to have been intended as a symbol of growth and rebirth, the eternal seasonal cycle of the coming of spring and the life of Man. This association stems from the pre-Christian notion that Man was born from nature, as evidenced by various mythological accounts of the way in which the world began, and the idea that Man is directly tied to the fate of nature."

One writer was supposed to meet some friends at the Green Man Inn in Dulwich. He never showed up.
He was contacted by one of them the next day, asking where he was. He excplained that he had been searching all evening for the DULL Man Inn in Greenwich.
(I tried to capitalize GREEN but the spelling checker got funny with me.)
