Gold Work

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or work:

    Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed
    Droops on the little hands, little gold head;
    Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
    Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)

    The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poet’s life. It is what he has become through his work. Not how is the idea expressed in stone, or on canvas or paper, is the question, but how far it has obtained form and expression in the life of the artist. His true work will not stand in any prince’s gallery.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
