Glass Harp Drummer

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or harp:

    People who, out of an inborn moderation, leave every glass standing only half-emptied refuse to admit that everything in the world has its sediments and dregs.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    A young woman, pretty, lively, with a harp as elegant as herself; and both placed near a window, cut down to the ground, and opening on a little lawn, surrounded in the rich foliage of summer, was enough to catch any man’s heart. The season, the scene, the air, were all favourable to tenderness and sentiment.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
