Movie quotes

  • (..) I'll go to Davis and visit you every day. ...now I want Spirits to enforce, art to enchant, And my ending is despair, Unless I be relieved by prayer, which pierces so that it assaults mercy itself and frees all faults. As you from crimes would pardoned be, let your indulgence set me free. (..)
