Crystal Shape

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or shape:

    While that the sun with his beams hot
    Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
    Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
    Sitting beside a crystal fountain,
    Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess (l. 1–4)

    his fear of the word “veil”;
    and in the shape of a ship,
    still another who slept.
    —Joáo Cabral De Melo Neto (b. 1920)
