Holy

Famous quotes containing the word holy:

    In sober mornings do not thou rehearse
    The holy incantation of a verse;
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    And I said,
    “This holy concern for the truth—
    no one worries about it except liars.”
    And God was bored.
    He turned on his side
    like an opium eater
    and slept.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I myself saw furious with blood
    Neoptolemus, at his side the black Atridae,
    Hecuba and the hundred daughters, Priam
    Cut down, his filth drenching the holy fires.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
