Thy Father

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or father:

“And when thy heart is laid to rest
Beneath the church-yard stone
I shall have time enough to mourn
And thou to be alone.””
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

“My father is one of the few men I know who say they do not like Shakespeare. He says “Shakespeare is so very coarse.” I could forgive my father for not liking Shakespeare if it was only because Shakespeare wrote poetry, but this is not the reason. He says he likes Tennyson and this gravely aggravates his offence.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
