Elder King

Famous quotes containing the words elder and/or king:

    Carthage must be destroyed.
    [Delenda est Carthago.]
    —Marcus Porcius Cato The Elder (234–149 B.C.)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
