Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or girl:
“Ah, Sun-flower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done:
Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“A girl could only see
That a flower had marred a man,
But what she could not see
Was that the flower might be
Other than base and fetid:”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
