Jane Grey

Famous quotes containing the words jane grey and/or grey:

    ... women can never do efficient and general service in hospitals until their dress is prescribed by laws inexorable as those of the Medes and Persians. Then, that dress should be entirely destitute of steel, starch, whale-bone, flounces, and ornaments of all descriptions; should rest on the shoulders, have a skirt from the waist to the ankle, and a waist which leaves room for breathing.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
    calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
    glad of good surprises, wiser than despair
    Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!
    Brian Wren (b. 1936)
