Famous quotes containing the words dorothea and/or lange:
“The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
Shone round him o’er the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud though childlike form.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
“We do not regard Englishmen as foreigners. We look on them only as rather mad Norwegians.”
—Halvard Lange (b. 1918)
