Famous quotes containing the words crowned and/or night:
“The Papacy is no other than the ghost of the deceased Roman empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“Victorious men of earth, no more
Proclaim how wide your empires are;
Though you bind in every shore
And your triumphs reach as far
As night or day,
Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)
