Bitter Gold

Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or gold:

    The tears I shed
    weren’t bitter things,
    so ice-floes in spring
    touched by the sun,
    show colour of flowers.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen; but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
