Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or algae:
“With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.
He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“there, where you live,
live:
start over,
everyman, with
the algae of your dreams.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
