Famous quotes containing the words crowned and/or king:
“But he her fears to cease
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
And waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“There is no king or sovereign state
That can fix a hero’s rate;
Each to all is venerable.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
