James Gordon Brown

Famous quotes containing the words james, gordon and/or brown:

    Whatever question there may be of his talent, there can be none, I think, of his genius. It was a slim and crooked one, but it was eminently personal. He was unperfect, unfinished, inartistic; he was worse than provincial—he was parochial.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Me did he send a love-letter,
    He sent it from the town,
    Saying no more he loved me,
    For that I was so brown.
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 9–12)
