Mass Bullets

Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or bullets:

    “When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
    They must wait several weeks before a mass
    Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
    Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
    They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
    It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
