Hearken Unto Me Ye Holy Children (Maurice Greene) - Voices

Famous quotes containing the word voices:

“The voices of that hearth are still;
Look where we may, the wide earth o’er,
Those lighted faces smile no more.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

“Two voices are there: one is of the deep;
It learns the storm-cloud’s thunderous melody,”
—James Kenneth Stephen (1859–1892)
