Glass Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or eyes:

    Before the beginning of years
    There came to the making of man
    Time, with a gift of tears;
    Grief, with a glass that ran;
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    There, on the mountain and the sky,
    On all the tragic scene they stare.
    One asks for mournful melodies;
    Accomplished fingers begin to play.
    Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
    Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
