Famous quotes containing the word priests:

“Along the avenue of cypresses,
All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“If the barricades went up in our streets and the poor became masters, I think the priests would escape, I fear the gentlemen would; but I believe the gutters would simply be running with the blood of philanthropists.”

“Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir; a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate.”
