Crystalline Forms

Famous quotes containing the words crystalline and/or forms:

    “While the stars that oversprinkle
    All the heavens, seem to twinkle
    With a crystalline delight;
    Keeping time, time, time,
    In a sort of Runic rhyme,
    To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
    From the bells, bells, bells, bells,”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “I may not tell
    of the forms that pass and pass,
    of that constant old, old face
    that leaps from each wave
    to wait underneath the boat
    in the hope that at last she’s lost.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
