quotations about bells
Ring them bells Saint Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
That the rush hour is now on the wheel
And the plow and the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow
Ring them bells
HEART
"Ring Them Bells"
Far away in the cool dim empty rooms of the big old house, a silver bell tinkled and faded.
RAY BRADBURY
Dandelion Wine
Silence that dreadful bell: it frights the isle
From her propriety.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Othello
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton toll'd the bell.
THOMAS HOOD
Faithless Sally Brown
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
JAMES PIERPONT
"Jingle Bells"
The vesper bell from far,
That seems to mourn for the expiring day.
DANTE ALIGHIERI
Purgatorio
The bells are ringing
And everyone's walking
With arms extended in a trance
Forgetting their washing
Neglecting the children
They're dropping all businesses at hand
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
"The Bells Are Ringing"
