Famous quotes containing the words powder, glass and/or beads:
“We are powerless,
dust and powder fill our lungs
our bodies blunder
through doors twisted on hinges.”

“The awaited scream rises,
the shattering
of glass and the cracking
of bone
a polar tumult as when
black ice booms....”

In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
So many times do I love again.”
