Golden Wing Clubs

Famous quotes containing the words golden, wing and/or clubs:

    “Fasten your hair with a golden pin,
    And bind up every wandering tress;
    I bade my heart build these poor rhymes:
    It worked at them, day out, day in,
    Building a sorrowful loveliness
    Out of the battles of old times.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “But he her fears to cease
    Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
    She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
    Down through the turning sphere,
    His ready harbinger,
    With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
    And waving wide her myrtle wand,
    She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “As night returns bringing doubts
    That swarm around the sleeper’s head
    But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
