Healing Tent Evangelist

Famous quotes containing the words healing, tent and/or evangelist:

    In the deserts of the heart

    There’s more than just animals:
    Bead-stalls, balloon-men, a Bank; a beer-marquee that
    Half-screens a canvas Gents; a tent selling tweed,
    And another, jackets.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    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.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
