    “Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.”
    —Edward Norman (b. 1946)

    “For when we must resign our vital breath,
    Our Loves by Fate benighted,
    We by this friendship shall survive in death,
    Even in divorce united.
    Weak Love through fortune or distrust
    In time forgets to burn,
    But this pursues us to the Urn,
    And marries either’s Dust.”
    —Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    “Now, good night! may Sweetest Slumbers
    And soft Silence fall in numbers
    On your Eye-lids: So, farewell;
    Thus I end my Evening knell.”
    —John Fletcher (1579–1625)
