Famous quotes containing the words gold, coast and/or city:

    We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
    Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.
    On his gold horse striding, like a conjured beast,
    Miraculous in its panache and swish?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    On the Coast of Coromandel
    Where the early pumpkins blow,
    In the middle of the woods
    Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
    Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
    One old jug without a handle,—
    These were all his worldly goods:
    In the middle of the woods,
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    Nor is there singing school but studying
    Monuments of its own magnificence;
    And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
    To the holy city of Byzantium.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
