Pointed Gold

Famous quotes containing the words pointed and/or gold:

    I heard the beat of centaur’s hoofs over the hard turf
    As his dry and passionate talk devoured the afternoon.

    Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke—smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
