Bell Boy

Famous quotes containing the words bell and/or boy:

    In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.”

    To Him, the painted swallow,
    to Him, the lump of amber,
    to Him, the boy and girl
    with roses and love-knots,
    to Him, the little cat
    to play beneath the Manger....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
