Famous quotes containing the words golden, point and/or games:
“All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretense
Our wanderings to guide.”

“I have come to a still, but not a deep center,
A point outside the glittering current;
My eyes stare at the bottom of a river,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
