Famous quotes containing the word glass:

Nathless we read your fortunes true;
The stars may hide in the upper sky,
But without glass we fathom you.”

Natures aethereal, human, angel, man,
Beast, bird, fish, insect! what no eye can see,
No glass can reach; from Infinite to thee,
From thee to Nothing!—”

“Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.

But colourless. Colourless.”
