Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or rock:

    “In marble halls as white as milk,
    Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
    Within a fountain crystal-clear,
    A golden apple doth appear.
    No doors there are to this stronghold,
    Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.”
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. In marble walls as white as milk (Riddle: An Egg)

    “The acorn’s not yet
    Fallen from the tree
    That’s to grow the wood,
    That’s to make the cradle,
    That’s to rock the bairn,
    That’s to grow a man,
    That’s to lay me.”
    —Unknown. The Cauld Lad of Hilton or, The Wandering Spectre (l. 2–8)
