Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or glass:

    “Male urination really is a kind of accomplishment, an arc of transcendance. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “Like a wild stranger out of wizard-land
    He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
    Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
    Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
