National Cathedral

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or cathedral:

“The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“... and met
At numerous cathedral cities
Unknown to the clergy.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
