Small Beads

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or beads:

    “Children crawl before they walk, walk before they run—each generally a precondition for the other. And with each step they take toward more independence, more mastery of the environment, their mothers take a step away—each a small separation, a small distancing.”
    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)

    “Masts in the offing wagged their tops;
    The swinging waves pealed on the shore;
    The saffron beach, all diamond drops
    And beads of surge, prolonged the roar.”
    —John Davidson (1857–1909)
