Famous quotes containing the word glass:

    When God at first made man,
    Having a glass of blessings standing by,
    “Let us,” said He, “pour on him all we can:
    Let the world’s riches, which dispersed lie,
    Contract into a span.”
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Before the beginning of years
    There came to the making of man
    Time, with a gift of tears;
    Grief, with a glass that ran;
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Our ideal ... must be a language as clear as glass—the person looking out of the window knows there is glass there, but he is not concerned with it; what concerns him is what comes through from the other side.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
