Gold Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:

    The enquiring fields, courtesies
    And tribulations of the air
    Be still and give them peace:
    The girl in the gold hair
    With her young man in clover
    In shadow of the day’s glare ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    We say ourselves fortunate to be driving by today.
    That we may look at them, in their gardens where
    The summer ripeness rots. But not raggedly.
    Even the leaves fall down in lovelier patterns here.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
