Court Tales

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or tales:

“GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”

And by relating tales of others’ griefs,
See if ‘twill teach us to forget our own?”
