Christmas Carols

Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or carols:

    “End of tomorrow.
    Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
    Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
    On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
    Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
    Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.”
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
    Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and
    strong,
    The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
    The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
    work,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
