Golden Chimes

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or chimes:

“I’d let my golden chances pass me by.”
—Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

“It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
Along uncertainty and gales of shame
Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
I dare not think alive: only a name
That chimes occasionally, as a belief
Long since embedded in the static past.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
