Glowing

Famous quotes containing the word glowing:

    He would not take that direction, to the darkness, to follow her. He walked towards the faintly humming, glowing town, quickly.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)

    A low man
    will trade his shawl
    for an ox
    in the dead of winter,
    looking at the breasts
    of that dusky girl
    as if they’re glowing coals.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
