King Cakes

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or cakes:

    Oh the rose, the rose, the gentle rose,
    And the fennel that grows so green!
    God give us grace in every place
    To pray for our king and queen.
    Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 41–44)

    A woman’s heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed receipt.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
