Bishop Pair

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or pair:

    O falling fire and piercing cry
    and panic, and a weak mailed fist
    clenched ignorant against the sky!
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
