A favorite line of mine from the wonderful poetry of W.B.Yeats
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
_______________________________ The Song of the Wandering Aengus 1899
Ah, Golden Apples of the Sun, a favorite by Ray Bradbury.

Is this supposed to be your favorite line? A little thin after those beautiful Yeats phrases.
You give me a phrase I'll give you a Word of the Year (and no lazy link at all, but it is in Merrian Webster)

True as true can be, Faldage. On and off I see this tree or that.
From Raymond Chandler's 'Pickup on Noon Street':
"He put his gun downn, started to reach for the money. His fist doubled, swept upward casually. His elbow went up with the punch, the fist turned, landed almost delicately on the angle of Waltz's jaw."
To me Chandler still is the coolest Detective story writer of all I know.

Poignant lyics from the greatest harmonica player since the Southland gave birth to the blues - the great but late - Sonny boy Williamson.
You whoop her when she need it
The Judge will not let you explain
Yes, whoop her when she need it
The Judge...will not, let you explain
Because he believes in justice
And a woman, is the glory of a man.
