Carol

Famous quotes containing the word carol:

    It is not her body that he wants but it is only through her body that he can take possession of another human being, so he must labor upon her body, he must enter her body, to make his claim.
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    It is not a carol of joy or glee,
    But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
    But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
    I know why the caged bird sings!
    Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

    Shall I tell you who will come
    to Bethlehem on Christmas Morn,
    Who will kneel them gently down
    before the Lord, new-born?
    —Unknown. Words from an Old Spanish Carol (l. 1–4)
