Famous quotes containing the word sacred:

    “O singers, resinous and soft your songs
    Above the sacred whisper of the pines,
    Give virgin lips to cornfield concubines,
    Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.”
    —Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    “Wachusett hides its lingering voice
    Within its rocky heart,
    And Allegheny graves its tone
    Throughout his lofty chart.
    Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
    Doth seal the sacred trust,
    Your mountains build their monument,
    Though ye destroy their dust.”
    —Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

    “Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
    In which a Soul doth dwell:”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
