Bishop Brown

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or brown:

    his shuddering insights, beyond his control,
    touching him. But it took him a long time
    finally to make his mind up to go home.
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    ... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
