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)

    Men are in the main alike, but they were made several in order that they might be various. If a low use is to be served, one man will do nearly quite as well as another; if a high one, individual excellence is to be regarded.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
