Glass Balls

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or balls:

“Shall we with pains erect a heaven of blue glass over ourselves, though when it is done we shall be sure to gaze still at the true ethereal heaven far above, as if the former were not?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
