Nothing Gold Can StayBy Robert Frost

• Nature's first green is gold,Her hardest hire to
  hold.Her early leafs a flowerBut only so an
  hour.Then leaf subsides to leaf.So Eden sank to
  griefSo down goes down today.Nothing gold can
  stay.

• The Outsiders is a book that shows that beneath
  the trappings of madras or leather, individual
  hearts have much in common.
