(from http://www.worldofquotes.com/topic/Bells/1/index.html)
Around, around, Companions all, take your ground, And name the bell with joy profound! Concordia is the world we've found Most meet to express the harmonious sound, That calls to those in friendship bound.
-Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller Quotes , Source: Song of the Bell

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow.
-Lord Alfred Tennyson Quotes , Source: In Memoriam (pt. CVI)

The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers, From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air, Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw, Shriller than trumpets under the Law, Now a sermon and now a prayer.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes , Source: Christus--The Golden Legend (pt. III)

Softly the loud peal dies, In passing winds it drowns, But breathes, like perfect joys, Tender tones.
-Frederick Tennyson Quotes , Source: The Bridal

How soft the music of those village bells, Falling at interval upon the ear In cadence sweet; now dying all away, Now pealing loud again, and louder still, Clear and sonorous, as the gale comes on! With easy force it opens all the cells Where Memory slept.
-William Cowper Quotes , Source: Task (bk. VI, l. 6)

The vesper bell from far That seems to mourn for the expiring day.
-Dante ("Dante Alighieri") Quotes , Source: Purgatorio (canto 8, l. 6)

Ringing . . .


(from https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/mar/06/ten-best-bells-in-literature)
The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L Sayers
In sleepy Fenland St Paul, the death of a villager is marked by nine rings of the great bell, Tailor Paul, in the tower of the church. The visiting sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, finds himself challenged by a mystery involving jewel theft and murder that centres on the bell tower. Only Wimsey's knowledge of campanology allows him to decipher the coded message that unravels the tale.

Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo
Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bellringer, lives in the belfry of Notre Dame and has been made deaf by the bells. He loves ringing them, "long morning serenades, which lasted from prime to compline; peals from the belfry for a high mass, rich scales drawn over the smaller bells for a wedding". But when he encounters the beautiful Esmerelda, he abandons the bells for a greater love.

"Monody on the Death of Aldersgate Street Station" by John Betjeman
Betjeman's characteristic celebration of the City of London's "steepled forest of churches" evokes the sounds of bells breaking the "Sunday silence". It begins with the "tingle tang" of "the bell of St Mildred's Bread Street", and ends by drowning in "the roaring flood of a twelve-voiced peal from Paul's".

"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray
One of the best-known opening lines in English poetry is the sound of a bell ringing: "The curfew tolls the knell of parting day." Gray's tolling curfew was the traditional sound of the country parish. Since the days of William the Conqueror, the curfew bell had been rung to signal that it was time for bed.

The Bell by Iris Murdoch
A wonderfully batty cast of characters converges on Imber Abbey in Gloucestershire. According to legend, the abbey bell flew into the lake centuries earlier when a bishop cursed the place because of the sexual misdemeanours of one of the nuns. A new bell is to be installed, but Toby and Dora find the old bell in the lake and decide to effect a bell-swap. Chaos ensues.

Peter Pan by JM Barrie
Tinkerbell the fairy communicates with the sound of a tinkling bell, which can only be understood by initiates. "It is the fairy language. You ordinary children can never hear it, but if you were to hear it you would know that you had heard it once before."

The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis
In the distant, dying world of Charn, Digory comes upon a small golden bell with a hammer next to it and this needling rhyme: "Make your choice, adventurous Stranger; / Strike the bell and bide the danger, / Or wonder, till it drive you mad, / What would have happened if you had." He cannot resist striking the bell, whose reverberations bring the witch Queen Jadis to life.

Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Macbeth waits for his wife to signal that the sleeping Duncan's guards have been drugged. She rings a bell, and Macbeth exits to do the terrible deed. "I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. / Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell / That summons thee to heaven or to hell."

"The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe
Poe's lyric starts cheerily with sleigh bells, proceeding to wedding bells and then alarum bells, before the poem's final section evokes the "iron bells" that make us shudder with terror. "For every sound that floats / From the rust within their throats / Is a groan".

In Memoriam AHH by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"Ring out the old, ring in the new." In section CVI of Tennyson's elegy, church bells ring out across the Lincolnshire snow at Christmas, lifting the poet from the gloom and pain that have engulfed him. "Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, / The flying cloud, the frosty light: / The year is dying in the night; / Ring out, wild bells, and let him die."

Ring . . .

. . . in the new . . . 


(from "Ring Out, Wild Bells" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
". . . Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws. . ."



Ring with us, OHO at 
The "Pre-New Year" Party
4:00PM til 7:00PM
Coastal Highway & 116th Street
Ocean City, MD 21842 

443-664-2896

Catch . . .


She said it was almost time 
For me to go
I said I was feeling fine 
And waxing so poetic
I was the silver-tongued devil
At least in my own eyes
How I lied
Oh how I tried

I want to catch the brass ring
Before it passes me by
I want to catch the brass ring
It's something that I just
Have to try
Please don't ask me why

I said I'm not gonna whine
Because I know
About the way they operate
And where they go for breakfast
In this exclusive and privileged world
You will find me
Sometime soon
Sometime soon

I want to catch the brass ring
Before it passes me by
I want to catch the brass ring
It's something that I just
Have to try
Please don't ask me why

Would you ask a child 
What he likes about candy
Would you ask a dog not to bite
Would you ask the sun not to shine
Or the stars not to 
Twinkle from their heights

Everybody's not the same
You ought to know
Whether they strictly be mundane
Are they the life of the party
In the confusion 
I'm easily forced to my corner
Of the room
In the gloom

I want to catch the brass ring
Before it passes me by
I want to catch the brass ring
It's something that I just
Have to try
Please don't ask me why
