    “I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “Making love? It’s a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion—and purification.”
    —Omar Sharif (b. 1932)
