Quotes edit
- The Lord descended from above
And bow’d the heavens high;
And underneath his feet he cast
The darkness of the sky.
On cherubs and on cherubims
Full royally he rode;
And on the wings of all the winds
Came flying all abroad.- A Metrical Version of Psalm 104, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
