Wins Gold

Famous quotes containing the words wins and/or gold:

    I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)

    In the gold mouth of a flower
    the black smell of spring earth.
    No more skulls on our desks
    but the pervasive
    testing of death....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
