Lady Gregory

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or gregory:

    Now Lady Maisry is gone home,
    Made him a winding sheet,
    And at the back of merry Lincoln
    The dead corpse did her meet.

    And all the bells of merry Lincoln,
    Without men’s hands were rung,
    Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 61–66)

    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)
