Famous quotes containing the words blessed, virgin and/or mary:
“Hush’d in and curtain’d with a blessed dearth
Of all that irk’d her from the hour of birth;
With stillness that is almost Paradise.
Darkness more clear than noonday holdeth her,”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“In correct theology, the Virgin ought not to be represented in bed, for she could not suffer like ordinary women, but her palace at Chartres is not much troubled by theology, and to her, as empress-mother, the pain of child-birth was a pleasure which she wanted her people to share.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump.”
