Gold Dust Day

Famous quotes containing the words gold, dust and/or day:

    Perfect alchemists I keep who can transmute substances without end, and thus the corner of my garden is an inexhaustible treasure-chest. Here you can dig, not gold, but the value which gold merely represents; and there is no Signor Blitz about it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    not that horror was not, not that the killings did not continue,
    not that I thought there was to be no more despair,
    but that as if transparent all disclosed
    an otherness that was blessèd, that was bliss.
    I saw Paradise in the dust of the street.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Perhaps one day this too will be pleasant to remember.
    Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)
