Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:
“Perfect alchemists I keep who can transmute substances without end, and thus the corner of my garden is an inexhaustible treasure-chest. Here you can dig, not gold, but the value which gold merely represents; and there is no Signor Blitz about it.”

“He leaves a white
Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance,
A width, a shining peace, under the night.”
