Glass Fibre

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or fibre:

    We are little airy creatures,
    All of different voice and features:
    One of us in glass is set,
    One of us you’ll find in jet,
    T’other you may see in tin,
    And the fourth a box within;
    If the fifth you should pursue,
    It can never fly from you.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    In the man whose childhood has known caresses and kindness, there is always a fibre of memory that can be touched by gentle issues.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
