Anglican Prayer Books

Famous quotes containing the words anglican, prayer and/or books:

    “I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “Hermia. Good night, sweet friend;
    Thy love ne’er alter till thy sweet life end!
    Lysander. Amen, amen, to that fair prayer say I,
    And then end life when I end loyalty!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)
