Matching Quote
"See, see where Christ's blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!—
Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? 'T is gone; and see where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his
ireful
brows!—
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!"
-Christopher Marlowe
