Golden Hats

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or hats:

    “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)

    “There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.””
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
