Bitter Gold

Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or gold:

    “The land of faery
    Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
    Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
    Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “That is coupled to foul thraldom.
    But if he had assayed it,
    Then all perquer he should it wit;
    And should think freedom more to prize
    Than all the gold in world that is.”
    —John Barbour (1316?–1395)
