Gold Medal Final

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or final:

“The enquiring fields, courtesies
And tribulations of the air
Be still and give them peace:

With her young man in clover
In shadow of the day’s glare ...”

“The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank brooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis—the final overthrow.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
