Julio-Claudian Family Tree

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

“A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
