| Notable Women: Winter Quotations | ||||||||||
| Sophia Lyon Fahs (adapted) | ||||||||||
And so the children come. And so they have been coming. Always in the same way they come -- Born of the seed of man and woman. No angels herald their beginnings, No prophets predict their future courses, No wise men see a star to point their way To find a babe that may save humankind. Yet each night a child is born is a holy night. Fathers and Mothers -- Sitting beside their children's cribs -- Feel glory in the wond'rous sight of life beginning. They ask: "When or how will this new life end? Or will it ever end?" Each night a child is born is a holy night. <Index: Christmas Quotes by Notable Women><Index to Etexts on Women's History>
