Window

A window is a transparent or translucent opening in a wall or door that allows the passage of light and, if not closed or sealed, air and sound. Windows are usually glazed or covered in some other transparent or translucent material like float glass. Windows are held in place by frames. Many glazed windows may be opened, to allow ventilation, or closed, to exclude inclement weather.

Famous quotes containing the word window:

    “On the day of breasts and small hips
    the window pocked with bad rain,
    rain coming on like a minister,
    we coupled, so sane and insane.”
