Famous quotes containing the words crown and/or glass:

    “The crown of literature is poetry. It is its end and aim. It is the sublimest activity of the human mind. It is the achievement of beauty and delicacy. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.”
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    “My glass shall not persuade me I am old
    So long as youth and thou are of one date,
    But when in thee time’s furrows I behold,
    Then look I death my days should expiate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
