Bells

Famous quotes containing the word bells:

“The bells they sound on Bredon,
And still the steeples hum.

Oh, noisy bells, be dumb;
I hear you, I will come.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like singin’, sing—
Keep a-goin’!”

“Holinesse on the head,
Light and perfections on the breast,
Harmonious bells below, raising the dead
To leade them unto life and rest.
Thus are true Aarons drest.”
