Evangelist Symbols Page

Famous quotes containing the words evangelist, symbols and/or page:

    Parisians are so besotted, so silly and so naturally inept that a street player, a seller of indulgences, a mule with its cymbals, a fiddler in the middle of a crossroads, will draw more people than would a good Evangelist preacher.

    Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Heav’n from all creatures, hides the book of Fate,
    All but the page prescrib’d, their present state:
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
