Peacock's Feathers


“All that glisters [glitter] is not gold,” said William Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice.

“Things are seldom what they seem,

Skim milk masquerades as cream;

High lows pass as patent leathers;

Jackdaws strut in peacock’s feathers.”

(Gilbert and Sullivan, H.M.S. Pinafore)
