Glass Demon

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or demon:

    Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
    Dulling and stilling.

    But colourless. Colourless.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    The Spirit of Place [does not] exert its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed. So America.... The moment the last nuclei of Red [Indian] life break up in America, then the white men will have to reckon with the full force of the demon of the continent.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
