Pillar Lying

Famous quotes containing the words pillar and/or lying:

    The LORD went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 13:21,22.

    Old heavens, you used to tweak above us,
    Standing like rain whenever a salvo . . . Old heavens,
    You lying there above the old, but not ruined, fort,
    Can you hear, there, what I am saying?
    For it is you I am parodying,
    Your invisible denials.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
