Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or gilmore:
“Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”
—Anonymous. Late 19th century ballad.
The quatrain refers to the famous case of Lizzie Borden, tried for the murder of her father and stepmother on Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Though she was found innocent, there were many who contested the verdict, occasioning a prodigious output of articles and books, including, most recently, Frank Spiering’s Lizzie (1985)
“He leadeth me O blessed thought,
O words with heavenly comfort fraught,
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.”
—Joseph Henry Gilmore (1834–1918)
