British Monarch

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or monarch:

“Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”

“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
