White Protestant

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or protestant:

    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “So the old flute was doomed and its fate was pathetic,
    ‘Twas fastened and burned at the stake as heretic,
    While the flames roared around it they heard a strange
    noise—
    ‘Twas the old flute still whistling ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
    —Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 37–40)
