Quotes Tagged "sacred-harp"

These, by contrast, are the six elements of a Sacred Harp alto: rage, darkness, motherhood, earth, malice, and sex. Once you feel it, you can always do it. You know where to go for it, though it will cost you.
— Mary Rose O'Reilley The Barn at the End of the World: The Apprenticeship of a Quaker
