Bishop Pratt

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or pratt:

    How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is “I will see you in the vestry after service.”
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)
