Sacred Host

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or host:

“O black and unknown bards of long ago, How came your lips to touch the sacred fire?”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
