Internal Sovereignty

Famous quotes containing the words internal and/or sovereignty:

“You will see Coleridge—he who sits obscure
In the exceeding lustre and the pure
Intense irradiation of a mind,
Which, with its own internal lightning blind,
Flags wearily through darkness and despair—
A cloud-encircled meteor of the air,
A hooded eagle among blinking owls.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“I think he’ll be to Rome
As is the osprey to the fish, who takes it
By sovereignty of nature.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
