Famous quotes containing the words church, covered and/or bridge:

    The Church seems to totter to its fall, almost all life extinct. On this occasion, any complaisance would be criminal which told you, whose hope and commission it is to preach the faith of Christ, that the faith of Christ is preached.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We talked between the Rooms—
    Until the Moss had reached our lips—
    And covered up—our names—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
