Famous quotes containing the word bishop:
“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)
“The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Apparently they have reached their destination.
It would be hard to say what brought them there,
commerce or contemplation.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
