Poetry & Spirit Week: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5.
It’s Tuesday in this special week on
spirituality and poetry, so let’s check out our memories for some
classic lines of poetry, shall we? A couple of months ago, one of our most
popular quizzes was called “The Bible and the Bard,” Click Here if
you’d like to jump back to that quiz.
In a similar style today, we’re giving you 12 lines: some are by
poet Emily Dickinson; some are by poet Robert Frost; and some are from the
King James Version of the Bible.
The quiz? Simply figure out which line is which.
