Famous quotes containing the words detail, john and/or gilpin:
“all to no end save beauty
the eternal—
So in detail they, the crowd,
are beautiful”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“Now let us sing, Long live the king,
And Gilpin long live he;
And when he next doth ride abroad,
May I be there to see!”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
