Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or gilt:
“They unhook their heavy swords
From golden and silver boughs;
But all that are killed in battle
Awaken to life again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,
That all, with one consent, praise new-born gauds.
And give to dust that is a little gilt
More laud than gilt o’er dusted;
The present eye praises the present object.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
