General Absolution

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or absolution:

“It was the words “descended into Hades”
That seemed too pagan to our liberal youth.
You know they suffered from a general onslaught.
And well, if they weren’t true why keep right on
Saying them like the heathen? We could drop them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Forgive! How many will say, “forgive,” and find
A sort of absolution in the sound
To hate a little longer!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
