East Passing

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or passing:

    Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 14:21,22.

    I saw the spires of Oxford
    As I was passing by,
    The grey spires of Oxford
    Against a pearl-grey sky;
    My heart was with the Oxford men
    Who went abroad to die.
    Winifred M. Letts (1887–1972)
