Easter Quotes
The sources for this page are the faith, hope and spirituality pages, not a collection of Easter writing. A few entries do mention the day: Longfellow’s The Spanish Student (1843) sets a scene on a bright Easter Sunday with blossoming trees, and W. H. Auden, in A Certain World (1970), says Christmas and Easter can be subjects for poetry but Good Friday cannot, any more than Auschwitz.
Most of what else you find here is general. Expect devotional writers and poets, with sources and dates on every quote page. Anything flagged as disputed or misattributed carries a note that says what the editors turned up.
There is magic within
There is magic without
Follow me and you'll learn
Just what life's all about.
Child, magic exists. There are powers and forces and realms beyond the fields you know.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt,
And cling to Faith beyond the forms of Faith.
Our dearest hopes in pangs are born,
The kingliest Kings are crown'd with thorn.
On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses are blending,
And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
