Famous quotes containing the word bells:

    “These days of disinheritance, we feast
    On human heads. True, birds rebuild
    Old nests and there is blue in the woods.
    The church bells clap one night in the week.
    But that’s all done. It is what used to be....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Pancakes and fritters,
    Say the bells of St. Peter’s.
    Two sticks and an apple,
    Say the bells of Whitechapel.

    Kettles and pans,
    Say the bells of St. Ann’s.”
    —Unknown. The Bells of London (l. 7–12)

    “The Church disowned, the tower overthrown, the bells upturned, what have we to do
    But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
    In an age which advances progressively backwards?”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
