Gold Lace

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or lace:

    We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
    Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.
    On his gold horse striding, like a conjured beast,
    Miraculous in its panache and swish?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of coloured hair, écru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
