Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bird:
“Fondnesse it were for any being free,
To covet fetters, though they golden bee.”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
