    “A saint about to fall,
    The stained flats of heaven hit and razed
    To the kissed kite hems of his shawl....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
