Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or august:

    The Christian always swears a bloody oath that he will never do it again. The civilized man simply resolves to be a bit more careful next time.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
    Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
    The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
    They buried us without shroud or coffin
    And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
