Famous quotes containing the word bells:

    “I’m getting married in the morning,
    Ding! dong! the bells are gonna chime.
    Pull out the stopper;
    Let’s have a whopper;
    But get me to the church on time!”
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)

    “These days of disinheritance, we feast
    On human heads. True, birds rebuild
    Old nests and there is blue in the woods.
    The church bells clap one night in the week.
    But that’s all done. It is what used to be....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The bells discuss the hour’s gradations,
    Dusty shelves hold prayers and proofs:
    Above, Chaldean constellations
    Sparkle over crowded roofs.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
