Famous quotes containing the word throne:

    And though the shady gloom
    Had given day her room,
    The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
    And hid his head for shame,
    As his inferior flame
    The new-enlightened world no more should need;
    He saw a greater Sun appear
    Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
