Famous quotes containing the words british and/or throne:
“His work was that curious mixture of bad painting and good intentions that always entitles a man to be called a representative British artist.”

“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
