Glass Balls

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or balls:

“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“If the head is lost, all that perishes is the individual; if the balls are lost, all of human nature perishes.”
