Golden Hawk

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or hawk:

    Venerandam,
    In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,
    Cypri munimenta sortita est, mirthful, oricalchi, with golden
    Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
    Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    And Coleridge, too, has lately taken wing,
    But like a hawk encumber’d with his hood,—
    Explaining Metaphysics to the nation—
    I wish he would explain his Explanation.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
