Church Built

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or built:

    “Having grown up in shade of Church and State
    Breathing the air of drawing-rooms and scent ...”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
    This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
    This other Eden, demi-paradise,
    This fortress built by nature for herself
    Against infection and the hand of war,
    This happy breed of men, this little world,
    This precious stone set in the silver sea,
    Which serves it in the office of a wall,
    Or as a moat defensive to a house
    Against the envy of less happier lands;
    This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
