Lady Gregory

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or gregory:

    She walks—the lady of my delight—
    A shepherdess of sheep.
    Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;
    She guards them from the steep.
    Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.
    —John Gregory Brown (20th century)
