Glass Beads

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or beads:

    Nor do I try to keep a garden, only
    An avocado in a glass of water—
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    With its frame of shaking curls all in disarray,
    earrings swinging,
    make-up smudged by beads of sweat,
    eyes languid at the end of lovemaking,
    may the face of the slim girl
    who’s riding on top of you
    protect you long.
    What’s the use
    of Vi.s».n»u, iva, Skanda,
    and all those other gods?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
