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)

    “Ring out a slowly dying cause,
    And ancient forms of party strife;
    Ring in the nobler modes of life,
    With sweeter manners, purer laws.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
