The Golden Circle was an unrealized pan-Caribbean political alliance of the 1850s, organized chiefly by United States adventurers, which may have been inspired by the Burr conspiracy of 1806. It envisioned the incorporation of several countries and states of the Americas into a federal union similar to the United States.

In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,
Cypri munimenta sortita est, mirthful, oricalchi, with golden
Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.”

And mad’st thy mother’s womb thine urn.
How summed a circle didst thou leave mankind
Of deepest lore, could we the center find!”
