Goldsmith Score

Famous quotes containing the words goldsmith and/or score:

    Let school-masters puzzle their brain.
    With grammar, and nonsense, and learning;
    Good liquor, I stoutly maintain,
    Gives genius a better discerning.
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
    Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
    And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
    I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
