Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or hall:
“How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is “I will see you in the vestry after service.””
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
