Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or dawn:
“All the chosen coin of fancy
flashing out from many a golden phrase;”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Pauls, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
