Glass Fresnel Lenses

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or lenses:

    When God at first made man,
    Having a glass of blessings standing by,
    “Let us,” said He, “pour on him all we can:
    Let the world’s riches, which dispersed lie,
    Contract into a span.”
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
