White Protestant

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or protestant:

    Everyone has left me
    except my muse,
    that good nurse.
    She stays in my hand,
    a mild white mouse.
    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)
