Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or rosary:

    “now I discerne they goe on a Pilgrimage
    Towards Loves holy land, faire Paphos or Cyprus.
    Such devotion is meete for a blithesome age;
    With sweet youth, it agrees well to be amorous.
    Let olde angrie fathers lurke in an Hermitage:
    Come, weele associate this jolly Pilgrimage!”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesn’t look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, “we will all die”, and she calls on the good Lord.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
