Glass Beads

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or beads:

    “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)

    “Masts in the offing wagged their tops;
    The swinging waves pealed on the shore;
    The saffron beach, all diamond drops
    And beads of surge, prolonged the roar.”
    —John Davidson (1857–1909)
