Gold Wire

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or wire:

    Burning hot is the ground, liquid gold is the air;
    Whoever looks round sees Eternity there.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    God, I am caught in a snare!
    I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
    I only know I let him finger there
    My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
    Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
