Silver Cup

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or cup:

    Eftsoones the Nymphes, which now had Flowers their fill,
    Ran all in haste, to see that silver brood,
    As they came floating on the Christal Flood,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
