Famous quotes containing the words feudal and/or lords:

    “There is hardly a pioneer’s hut which does not contain a few odd volumes of Shakespeare. I remember reading the feudal drama of Henry V for the first time in a log cabin.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “The lords of life, the lords of life,—
    I saw them pass
    In their own guise,
    Like and unlike,
    Portly and grim,—
    Use and surprise,
    Surface and dream,
    Succession swift, and spectral wrong,
    Temperament without a tongue,
    And the inventor of the game
    Omnipresent without name;—”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
