Edinburgh Crystal Glass

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or glass:

    We have ... a thirst unquenchable, to allay which he has not shown us the crystal springs. This thirst belongs to the immortality of Man.... It is no mere appreciation of the Beauty before us—but a wild effort to reach the Beauty above.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Sunshine of late afternoon—
    On the glass tray

    a glass pitcher, the tumbler
    turned down, by which

    a key is lying—And the
    immaculate white bed
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
