When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room—”

“It is true, these Roman Catholics, priests and all, impress me as a people who have fallen far behind the significance of their symbols. It is as if an ox had strayed into a church and were trying to bethink himself. Nevertheless, they are capable of reverence; but we Yankees are a people in whom this sentiment has nearly died out, and in this respect we cannot bethink ourselves even as oxen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“God is indeed dead.
He died of self-horror
when He saw the creature He had made
in His own image.”
—Irving Layton (b. 1912)
