Gold Silver

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or silver:

“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Seine and Piave are silver spoons,
But the spoonbowl-metal is thin and worn,”
—Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)
