Famous quotes containing the word bells:

    “Pancakes and fritters,
    Say the bells of St. Peter’s.
    Two sticks and an apple,
    Say the bells of Whitechapel.

    Kettles and pans,
    Say the bells of St. Ann’s.”
    —Unknown. The Bells of London (l. 7–12)

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby’s woeful face or the venerable tower.”
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
