Golden Bird

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bird:

    Beloved, may your sleep be sound
    That have found it where you fed.
    What were all the world’s alarms
    To mighty Paris when he found
    Sleep upon a golden bed
    That first dawn in Helen’s arms?

    the bird in the poplar tree
    dreaming, his head
    tucked into
    far-and-near exile under his wing ...
