Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or played:
“Fondnesse it were for any being free,
To covet fetters, though they golden bee.”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“It has been played once more. I think you exist only
To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem
Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
