Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or cup:
“Seine and Piave are silver spoons,
But the spoonbowl-metal is thin and worn,”

“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)
