Hymn

Famous quotes containing the word hymn:

“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”

“The starting point of the human and the end,
That in which space itself is contained, the gate
To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
By day, night and that which night illumines,
Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
