Twisted Halo

Famous quotes containing the words twisted and/or halo:

    Then one will say, ‘He is not dead, maybe,
    Who was mortality’s unshaken lover
    Who loved the spring upon the Tennessee,
    The hushed fall and, again, the coming clover.’
    None will recall, not knowing, the twisted roads
    Where the mind wanders till the heart corrodes.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Fame now wears the halo that once crowned holiness.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
