Famous quotes containing the words carat and/or purple:
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”

“And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
