Famous quotes containing the word bradstreet:

    The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
    Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
    Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
    Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
    I here, thou there, yet both but one.
    —Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
