Solemn High Mass

Famous quotes containing the words solemn, high and/or mass:

    A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    How high they build hospitals!
    Lighted cliffs, against dawns
    Of days people will die on.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily
    thickening to empire,
    And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out,
    and the mass hardens,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
