Memorable Quotes from Roger Ashton-Griffiths
1 quoteThe Burden of Beauty and Faith
Old Bishop
Does this not shock you, ladies?
[after William rides into the cathedral on a horse to woo Jocelyn]
Jocelyn
Certainly, my lord, I just, I only laugh just to keep from weeping.
Old Bishop
Beauty is such a curse. Pray your years come swiftly for you, pray your beauty fades that you may better serve God.
[Understandingly]
Jocelyn
Oh, and I do, my lord. I pray for it all the time. Why, God, did you curse me with this face?
Old Bishop
God's will has a purpose, but we may not know it.
[Extends his hand so that she may kiss his ring]
Jocelyn
Oh, that is lovely...
[goes to kiss hand, but instead admires the costly ring on his finger; laughs as the bishop briefly sputters before singing a hymn]
