Broken Bells

Famous quotes containing the words broken and/or bells:

    “Mostly, we authors must repeat ourselves—that’s the truth. We have two or three great moving experiences in our lives—experiences so great and moving that it doesn’t seem at the time that anyone else has been so caught up and pounded and dazzled and astonished and beaten and broken and rescued and illuminated and rewarded and humbled in just that way ever before.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “O he did whistle and she did sing,
    And all the bells on earth did ring
    For joy our Saviour Christ was born
    On Christmas Day in the morning.”
    —Unknown. As I Sat on a Sunny Bank. . .

    Oxford Book of Light Verse, The. W. H. Auden, ed. (1938)
