Parson Brothers

Famous quotes containing the words parson and/or brothers:

“—First a shiver, and then a thrill,
Then something decidedly like a spill,—
And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
At half-past nine by the meet’n’-house clock,—
Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
MWhat do you think the parson found,
When he got up and stared around?
The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“It always seems to the brothers and the father that their brother or son didn’t marry the right person.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
