Time Platinum

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or platinum:

    “The conqueror at least; who, ere Time renders
    His last award, will have the long grass grow
    Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.
    If I might augur, I should rate but low
    Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
    Mock tyrants, when Rome’s annals wax’d but dirty.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
    politeness,
    You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
    And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
    fern.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
