"I see a golden-winged butterfly in Calla's cup; your spicy breath will soon bring him here to drink of your nectar!" The most of the flowers laughed, but the Carnation still called out "How came she here?" The Amaranth, however, who never slept a wink through the whole night, would not answer the question, though the flowers were certain that she could, were she so inclined.
Not only must he fight with and slay this golden-winged, iron-scaled, long-tusked, brazen-clawed, snaky-haired monster, but he must do it with his eyes shut, or, at least, without so much as a glance at the enemy with whom he was contending.
But the czimbalom-player merely closed the door from the inside and followed his righteous benefactor. "Golden-winged angels in a wagon of diamonds...." "Get out this moment!" cried Sárvölgyi, hastily looking for a stick to drive the flatterer out of his room.
It is pleasant to observe how naturally birds flock together in hard times, precisely as men do, and doubtless for similar reasons. The edge of the wood, just mentioned, was populous with them: robins, bluebirds, chickadees, fox sparrows, snow-birds, song sparrows, tree sparrows, phoebes, a golden-winged woodpecker, and a rusty blackbird.

The Wilson thrush and the red-bellied nuthatch I have seen once or twice each. The chewink is more constant in his visits, as is also the golden-winged woodpecker. Our familiar little downy woodpecker, on the other hand, has thus far kept out of my catalogue.
"How my heart aches for you yearns towards you longs for the dear privilege of making all your paths smooth and fragrant; all your hours golden-winged; all your states peaceful! How precious you are to me! Precious as my own soul dear counterpart! loving complement! Vain, as your own strife with yourself, has been my strife. The burden has been too heavy for us; the ordeal too fiery.
Wild bees hummed through the web, and left it, heavy laden with the sweet essence distilled from the dust by the subtle chemistry of sun and rain. And the Weaver only smiled at the golden-winged army of plunderers, for secretly they ministered unto the vineyard in ways of love. Then the Weaver paused to rest, for the pattern was made and there was only the colour to be put in.
The thought of money of thousands of francs, easily convertible into pounds, marks, dollars, florins, or whatever chanced to be the denomination of the country to which free and golden-winged steps might lead him had a very inflaming effect on M. Paul de Roustache's imagination.
