Speckled Chalcedony Beads

Famous quotes containing the words speckled and/or beads:

    It’s lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky, up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made, or only just happened—Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to make so many.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war,
    And thus hath so bestirred thee in thy sleep,
    That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow,
    Like bubbles in a late-disturbed stream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
