1962 February, Osbert Sitwell, “New York in the Twenties”, inThe Atlantic[1]:
When we arrived in New York, we found a day of extreme brilliance. It would be impossible ever to forget the first sight of the groups of slender towers that form the skyline of New York City, chantinghosannas to an autumn sky.
1981,William Irwin Thompson,The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light: Mythology, Sexuality and the Origins of Culture, London: Rider/Hutchinson & Co., page24:
Imagine God in Heaven surrounded by the choirs of adoring angels singinghosannahs unendingly.
The hall rang with thehosannas of the faithful, while the women knelt at his feet to ask for salvation.
2018 January 5, Rick Wilson, “Bannon Banished for Telling Truths About Trump as MAGA Monsters Turn on Each Other”, inThe Daily Beast[2]:
I’ve written before about the inevitable, tragic dynamic of this brokeback bromance; Trump needs a mindless cheering section screaminghosannas no matter how often he stumbles toward the nuclear and political precipice.
