Glass Bulb

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or bulb:

    It is difficult to read. The page is dark.
    Yet he knows what it is that he expects.
    The page is blank or a frame without a glass
    Or a glass that is empty when he looks.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    ... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
    and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
    and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
    or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
    like moth wings for a short while in a small place.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
