Famous quotes containing the words pass, christian and/or high:
“There the traveler meets, aghast,
Sheeted memories of the past
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by
White-robed forms of friends long given,
In agony, to the earthand heaven.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
“Ive almost gained my heavnly home; My spirit loudly sings;
The holy ones behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.
O come, angel band, Come and around me stand.
O bear me away on your snowy wings, To my immortal home.”
—T. Haskell, minister and hymn-writer. Published in Christian Harmony. Angel Band, l. 5-8.
“But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what hes most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
