Bishop Richard Gerard

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or richard:

“Whether they knew or not,
Goldsmith and Burke, Swift and the Bishop of Cloyne
All hated Whiggery; but what is Whiggery?
A levelling, rancorous, rational sort of mind
That never looked out of the eye of a saint
Or out of drunkard’s eye.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“See, see, King Richard doth himself appear,
As doth the blushing discontented sun
From out the fiery portal of the east.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
