Gold Inlay

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or inlay:

“As in digging for precious metals in the mines, much earthy rubbish has first to be troublesomely handled and thrown out; so, in digging in one’s soul for the fine gold of genius, much dullness and common-place is first brought to light.”

“In the tight belly of the dead
Burrow with hungry head
And inlay maggots like a jewel.”
