Collins Crystal Cave

Famous quotes containing the words collins, crystal and/or cave:

    “Though taste, though genius bless
    To some divine excess,
    Faint’s the cold work till thou inspire the whole;
    What each, what all supply,
    May court, may charm our eye,
    Thou, only thou, canst raise the meeting soul!”
    —William Collins (1721–1759)

    “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
    Sailed off in a wooden shoe—
    Sailed on a river of crystal light,
    Into a sea of dew.”
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    “Stands the Spring! heralded by its bright-clothed
    Trumpeters, of bough and bush and branch;
    Pale Winter draws away his white hands, loathed,
    And creeps, a leper, to the cave of time.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
