Gold Saints

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or saints:

    Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke—smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    All saints revile her, and all sober men
    Ruled by the God Apollo’s golden mean—
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
