Glass Beads

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or beads:

“Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.

But colourless. Colourless.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

“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.)
