Famous quotes containing the words gallery, showing, stained and/or glass:

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “These foliaceous heaps lie along the bank like the slag of a furnace, showing that Nature is “in full blast” within.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Near vermillion one gets stained red; near ink one gets stained black.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “The awaited scream rises,
    the shattering
    of glass and the cracking
    of bone
    a polar tumult as when
    black ice booms....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
