Silver Lotus Award

Famous quotes containing the words silver, lotus and/or award:

“I cease my song for thee,
From my gaze on thee in the west, fronting the west, communing with thee,
O comrade lustrous with silver face in the night.
Yet each to keep and all, retrievements out of the night,
The song, the wondrous chant of the grey-brown bird,
And the tallying chant, the echo aroused in my soul,
With the lustrous and drooping star with the countenance full of woe,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“It’s a mining town in lotus land.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
