Famous quotes containing the words festival and/or held:
“Sabbath. A weekly festival having its origin in the fact that God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh.”

“You danced with me never saying a word.
Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.
The serpent, that mocker, woke up and pressed against me
like a great god and we bent together
like two lonely swans.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
