Bruno of Cologne - Remembered For His Eloquence

Remembered For His Eloquence

His funeral elegies celebrate his eloquence, which is a way with words, and his poetic, philosophical, and theological talents; his merit as a teacher is reflected in the merits of his pupils, amongst whom were Eudes of Châtillon, afterwards Pope Urban II; Rangier, Cardinal Bishop of Reggio; Robert, Bishop of Langres; and a large number of prelates and abbots.

Famous quotes containing the words remembered and/or eloquence:

    For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
    And all the seasons of snows and sins;
    The days dividing lover and lover,
    The light that loses, the night that wins;
    And time remembered is grief forgotten,
    And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
    And in green underwood and cover
    Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    No living orator would convince a grocer that coffee should be sold without chicory; and no amount of eloquence will make an English lawyer think that loyalty to truth should come before loyalty to his client.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
