Famous quotes containing the words bronze and/or gold:
“Ask us, ask us whether with the worldless rose
Our hearts shall fail us; come demanding
Whether there shall be lofty or long standing
When the bronze annals of the oak-tree close.”

nor the gold reft
through your chiselled locks
is as gold as this last year’s leaf.”
