Church Modes

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or modes:

    A little black thing among the snow
    Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!

    I cannot beat off
    Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
    Be a man my son by God.
    He turned again
    To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
    Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
