Hymn Book

Famous quotes containing the words hymn and/or book:

“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.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.”
—William Styron (b. 1925)
