Virgin Blue

Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or blue:

“But see, the Virgin blest
Hath laid her Babe to rest:
Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
Hath fixed her polished car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
And all about the courtly stable,
Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“... wounding God with his blue face,
his tyranny, his absolute kingdom,
with my aphrodisiac.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
