Unknown. The Cherry-tree Carol

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or carol:

    They say miracles are past, and we have our philosophical
    persons, to make modern and familiar, things supernatural
    and causeless. Hence is it that we make trifles of terrors,
    ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, when we should
    submit ourselves to an unknown fear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Herod, the king,
    In his raging,
    Charged he hath, this day,
    His men of might
    In his owne sight
    All yonge children to slay.
    —Unknown. Coventry Carol (l. 10–15)
