Gold Eye

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or eye:

    And the Goddess?
    She stands
    between the worlds.
    She is ivory,
    her breast bare, her bare arms
    braceleted with gold snakes.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    But the lightning which explodes and fashions planets, maker of planets and suns, is in him. On one side elemental order, sandstone and granite, rock-ledges, peat-bog, forest, sea and shore; and on the other part, thought, the spirit which composes and decomposes nature,—here they are, side by side, god and devil, mind and matter, king and conspirator, belt and spasm, riding peacefully together in the eye and brain of every man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
