Glass Menagerie

Famous quotes containing the words glass and/or menagerie:

    Before the beginning of years
    There came to the making of man
    Time, with a gift of tears;
    Grief, with a glass that ran;

    This universal exhibition in Canada of the tools and sinews of war reminded me of the keeper of a menagerie showing his animals’ claws. It was the English leopard showing his claws.
