Glowing

Famous quotes containing the word glowing:

“It is of stone.
A rosy stone that takes
a glowing tone of softness
only because behind it the sky is a doubtful, a doubting
night gray.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“When Love’s delirium haunts the glowing mind,
Limping Decorum lingers far behind.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
