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.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    More Safe, and much more modest ‘tis, to say
    God wou’d not leave Mankind without a way:
    And that the Scriptures, though not every where
    Free from Corruption, or intire, or clear,
    Are uncorrupt, sufficient, clear, intire,
    In all things which our needfull Faith require.
    If others in the same Glass better see
    ‘Tis for Themselves they look, but not for me:
    For MY Salvation must its Doom receive
    Not from what OTHERS, but what I believe.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    With its frame of shaking curls all in disarray,
    earrings swinging,
    make-up smudged by beads of sweat,
    eyes languid at the end of lovemaking,
    may the face of the slim girl
    who’s riding on top of you
    protect you long.
    What’s the use
    of Vi.s».n»u, iva, Skanda,
    and all those other gods?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
