Golden Apples

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or apples:

    Behold that great Plotinus swim
    Buffeted by such seas;
    Bland Rhadamanthus beckons him,
    But the Golden Race looks dim,
    Salt blood blocks his eyes.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
    and the long journey towards oblivion.
    The apples falling like great drops of dew
    to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
