The Woodward brothers (as they are known) were Richard Blake (1848 - c.1905, Tugela River?) and John Deverell Stewart Woodward (1849 - c.1905), who were English missionaries and ornithologists. They were born in Bathford, England to Richard and Mary Woodward. Through their field expeditions, specimen collecting and publications, they, along with Arthur Stark, established a basis for 20th century ornithology in the southern African region.

“the red-lily,
a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”

from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
