Famous quotes containing the words carat and/or purple:

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    This great purple butterfly,
    In the prison of my hands,
    Has a learning in his eye
    Not a poor fool understands.
    Once he lived a schoolmaster
    With a stark, denying look....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
