Famous quotes containing the words relics, claimed, holy and/or lance:

    Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
    Where cold and unhonour’d his relics are laid.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    The faceless head lay still. I could not run
    Or walk, but stood. Alone in the public clearing
    This private thing was owned by all the town,
    Though never claimed by us within my hearing.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    In spite of all her faults her name was so holy to him that it had never once passed his lips since her death, except in low whispers to himself,—low whispers made in the perfect, double-guarded seclusion of his own chamber. “Cora, Cora,” he had murmured, so that the sense of the sound and not the sound itself had come to him from his own lips.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Well, if I were going to haunt anybody, this would certainly be the house I’d do it in.
    Robb White, and William Castle. Lance Schroeder (Richard Long)
