Lesser Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or mysteries:

    Imagining that I could
    A greater with a lesser pang assuage
    Or but to find if withered vein ran blood,
    I tore my body that its wine might cover
    Whatever could recall the lip of lover.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
