Silver Quotes - Page 12

• Girl with the burning golden eyes,
  And red-bird song, and snowy throat:
  I bring you gold and silver moons,
  And diamond stars, and mists that float.
  I bring you moons and snowy clouds,
  I bring you prarie skies to-night
  To feebly praise your golden eyes
  And red-bird song, and throat so white.
  ~Vachel Lindsay "To Gloriana"
  God wrote His loveliest poem on the day
  He made the first silver poplar tree,
  And set it high upon a pale-gold hill
  For all the new enchanted earth to see.

• To Forget Venice is a tour de force of ventriloquism. Elegant, contemporary, and wry, the voice at its center is also capable of disarming flights of imagination as it enters and inhabits other lives across time and gender. The glittering, fetid city emerges as a complex metaphor for the human heart’s simultaneous tenderness and capacity for cruelty, its ‘silver glow / a local specialty: filth / disguised as ornament.’ This Venice is unforgettable.

  Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen,
  Like gold and silver sands in some ravine
  Where mountain streams have left their channels bare!

• Prize not thyself by what thou hast, but by what thou art; he that values a jewel by her golden frame, or a book by her silver clasps, or a man by his vast estate, errs; if thou art not worth more than the world can make thee, thy Redeemer had a bad pennyworth, or thou an uncurious Redeemer.

• The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City, watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window.

• Quite the ugliest face I ever saw was that of a woman whom the world called beautiful. Through its silver veil the evil and ungentle passions looked out, hideous and hateful. On the other hand, there are faces which the multitude, at first glance, pronounce homely, unattractive and such as "Nature fashions by the gross," which I always recognize with a warm heart-thrill. Not for the world would I have one feature changed; they please me as they are; they are hallowed by kind memories, and are beautiful through their associations.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

• Book tours are really kind of fun. You get to stay in nice hotels, you are driven everywhere in big silver cars, you are treated as if you are much more important than you are, you can eat steak three times a day at someone else's expense, and you get to talk endlessly about yourself for weeks at a stretch.
