“I must be mad, or very tired, When the curve of a blue bay beyond a railroad track Is shrill and sweet to me like the sudden springing of a tune, And the sight of a white church above thin trees in a city square Amazes my eyes as though it were the Parthenon.” EyeChurchWhiteCitiesTreeSweetSightBlueMadTiredTrackTunesSquaresCurvesRailroadsRailroad TracksParthenon Author:Amy Lowell

“The perfect church service would be the one we were almost unaware of; our attention would have been on God. But every novelty prevents this. It fixes our attention on the service itself; and thinking about worship is a different thing than worshipping ... 'Tis mad idolatry that makes the service greater than the god.” ThinkingHas BeensDifferentWarWould BeChurchPerfectAttentionGreaterMilitaryWorshipMadExcellenceDifferent ThingsNoveltyMonarchyIdolatryChurch Service Author:C.
