Bishop Dyer

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or dyer:

    Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?
    Where should we be today?
    Is it right to be watching strangers in a play
    in this strangest of theatres?
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)
