Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or dome:

“When God at first made man,

Let the world’s riches, which dispersed lie,
Contract into a span.””

“Thus to him, to this school-boy under the bending dome of day, is suggested, that he and it proceed from one root; one is leaf and one is flower; relation, sympathy, stirring in every vein. And what is that Root? Is not that the soul of his soul?—A thought too bold,—a dream too wild.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
