- (idiomatic) Synonym of Midas touch (“the ability to achieve financial reward (または, more generally, success) easily and consistently”)
- 1853 January, “Art. VIII.—1. The House of the Seven Gables; a Romance. By Nathaniel Hawthorne. Boston: Ticknor, Reed & Fields. 1851. 16mo. pp. 344. 2. The Blithedale Romance. By Nathaniel Hawthorne. Boston: Ticknor, Reed & Fields. 1852. 16mo. pp. 288.

- In fine, his [Nathaniel Hawthorne's] golden touch is as unfailing as was that of Midas, and transmutes whatever he lays hand upon. [...] [H]e so transforms incidents and transactions of the most trivial character, as to render them grand, pathetic, or grotesque. [...] His golden touch, we would then say, imposes no superficial glitter, but brings out upon the surface, and concentrates into luminous points, the interior gilding, which is attached to the meanest objects and the lowliest scenes by their contact with the realm of sentiment, emotion, and spiritual life.

Twenty years later, with the appearance of his eleventh book, White Lotus, he has been told that while he once aspired to have a silver tongue, he has been given instead a golden touch; that instead of writing literature for all time, he has written books that make the Book-of-the-Month Club. Hersey should not have been discouraged by such remarks.
- 1986, Robert Barnard, Political Suicide (Collins Crime Club)[1], London: Collins, →ISBN; republished New York, N.Y.: Scribner, 2014, →ISBN:
