Blessed Virgin

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or virgin:

    “that blessed mood,
    In which the burthen of the mystery,
    In which the heavy and the weary weight
    Of all this unintelligible world
    Is lightened:—”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “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.”
