Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or nature:

    “I will find out where she has gone,
    And kiss her lips and take her hands;
    And walk among long dappled grass,
    And pluck till time and times are done
    The silver apples of the moon,
    The golden apples of the sun.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “But oh! each visitation
    Suspends what nature gave me any my birth,
    My shaping spirit of Imagination.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
