Crown Princess Victoria

Famous quotes containing the words crown, princess and/or victoria:

    There might you have beheld one joy crown another, so and in such manner that it seemed sorrow wept to take leave of them, for their joy waded in tears.

    He is blowing on light
    each time for the first time.
    His fingers cover the mouths of all the sopranos,
    each a princess in an exact position.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.
    —Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)
