Glass

Famous quotes containing the word glass:

“We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“The glass has been falling all the afternoon”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“Nor do I try to keep a garden, only
An avocado in a glass of water—”
