Powder Glass Beads

Famous quotes containing the words powder, glass and/or beads:

    We are powerless,
    dust and powder fill our lungs
    our bodies blunder
    through doors twisted on hinges.

    You doubt we read the stars on high,
    Nathless we read your fortunes true;
    The stars may hide in the upper sky,
    But without glass we fathom you.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war,
    And thus hath so bestirred thee in thy sleep,
    That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow,
    Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
