William Wordsworth Quotes About Gold

Quotes about: Gold

• He loves not well whose love is bold!
  I would not have thee come too nigh.

  Unless the sun were in the sky:
  To take him thence and chain him near
  Would make his beauty disappear.
  William Winter, Love's Queen.
  The unconquerable pang of despised love.
