John Webster Quote

Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright,
But looked to near have neither heat nor light.

Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near have neither heat nor light.

Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near have neither heat nor light.

Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near have neither heat nor light.
