Madox Brown

Famous quotes containing the words madox and/or brown:

    And then I ran to get away,
    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.
    —Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1880–1941)

    ... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
