Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or relics:

    Prepare your hearts for Death’s cold hand! prepare
    Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth;
    Prepare your arms for glorious victory;
    Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God!
    Prepare, prepare!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
    Where cold and unhonour’d his relics are laid.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
