Protestant View

Famous quotes containing the words protestant and/or view:

    So the old flute was doomed and its fate was pathetic,
    ‘Twas fastened and burned at the stake as heretic,
    While the flames roared around it they heard a strange
    noise—
    ‘Twas the old flute still whistling ‘The Protestant Boys’.
    —Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 37–40)

    The view is fine from fifty,
    Experienced climbers say....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
