Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or lake:

    Madame, ye been alle beautee shrine
    As fer as cercled is the mapemounde:
    For as the crystal glorious ye shine,
    And like ruby been youre cheekes rounde.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
