Famous quotes containing the words hung and/or temple:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, who rules all creation!
O my soul, worship the source of thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to God’s temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!”
—Joachim Neander (1650–1680)
