Golden Pair

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or pair:

    With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
    And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
    He caught me in his silken net,
    And shut me in his golden cage.

    He loves to sit and hear me sing,
    Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
    Then stretches out my golden wing,
    And mocks my loss of liberty.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Auld Noah was at hame wi’ them a’,
    The lion and the lamb,
    Pair by pair they entered the Ark
    And he took them as they cam’.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
