Appointed Rector

Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or rector:

“Like pilgrims to th’ appointed place we tend;
The world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end.”

“Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
