Solemn High Mass

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

    These to thee, my God, we owe;
    Source whence all our blessings flow;
    And for these my soul shall raise
    Grateful vows and solemn praise.
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    But let my due feet never fail
    To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
    And love the high embowed roof,
    With antic pillars massy proof,
    And storied windows richly dight,
    Casting a dim, religious light.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.
    —Unknown. New York Weekly Mirror (July 5, 1845)
