Bishop David

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or david:

“His beak is focussed; he is preoccupied,

looking for something, something, something.
Poor bird, he is obsessed!”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

“Where is the “unexplored land” but in our own untried enterprises? To an adventurous spirit any place—London, New York, Worcester, or his own yard—is “unexplored land,” to seek which Frémont and Kane travel so far. To a sluggish and defeated spirit even the Great Basin and the Polaris are trivial places.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
