Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or retreats:
“In the pink light

round and round and round at the same height
in perpetual sunset,”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
