Crystal Tears

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or tears:

    While that the sun with his beams hot
    Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
    Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
    Sitting beside a crystal fountain,
    Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess (l. 1–4)

    We beg one hour of death, that neither she
    With widow’s tears may live to bury me,
    Nor weeping I, with wither’d arms, may bear
    My breathless Baucis to the sepulchre.’
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
