Church Bells

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or bells:

“Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell
And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
And it is All Souls’ Night.
And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
For it is a ghost’s right....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower;
And swing I know not where.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
