Famous quotes containing the words bight and/or bonny:
“The bight is littered with old correspondences.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
