Gold Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:

    Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed
    Droops on the little hands, little gold head;
    Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!

    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)

    We must not inquire too curiously into the absolute value of literature. Enough that it amuses and exercises us. At least it leaves us where we were. It names things, but does not add things.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
