Golden Palm

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or palm:

    “He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “O Love, what hours were thine and mine,
    In lands of palm and southern pine;
    In lands of palm, of orange-blossom,
    Of olive, aloe, and maize and vine.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
