Silver Coinage

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or coinage:

“the hatchlings wake in the swaying branches,
in the silver baskets,
and love the world.
Is it necessary to say any more?
Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields?
Have you ever been so happy in your life?”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

“Designs in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste.”
