Root Glass Company

Famous quotes containing the words root, glass and/or company:

    And a man of tan engages
    For the springtime of her pride,
    Eats the green by easy stages,
    Nibbles at the root beneath
    With intimidating teeth.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Before the beginning of years
    There came to the making of man
    Time, with a gift of tears;
    Grief, with a glass that ran;
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
