Famous quotes containing the words demon, princes and/or setting:

    For certain minutes at the least
    That crafty demon and that loud beast
    That plague me day and night

    Though I had long perned in the gyre,
    Between my hatred and desire....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
    As reckless as the best of them tonight,
    By setting fire to all the brush we piled
    With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
