Glass

Famous quotes containing the word glass:

“My glass shall not persuade me I am old
So long as youth and thou are of one date,
But when in thee time’s furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;
Grief, with a glass that ran;”
