Golden Bird

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bird:

    He, that holds fast the golden mean,
    And lives contentedly between
    The little and the great,
    Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
    Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door,
    Imbitt’ring all his state.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    The bird is lost,
    Dead, with all the music:
    While sunsets heard the brain’s music
    Faded to last horizon notes.
    Owen Dodson (b. 1914)
