Famous quotes containing the word bells:
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (19071963)
“Now Lady Maisry is gone home,
Made him a winding sheet,
And at the back of merry Lincoln
The dead corpse did her meet.
And all the bells of merry Lincoln,
Without mens hands were rung,”
—Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 6166)
“The bells they sound on Bredon,
And still the steeples hum.
Come all to church, good people,
Oh, noisy bells, be dumb;
I hear you, I will come.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
