King Friday

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or friday:

    Like to the tree of Tantalus she fled,
    And seeming lavish, sav’de her maydenhead.
    Ne’re king more sought to keepe his diademe;
    Than Hero this inestimable gemme.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    The dripping blood our only drink,
    The bloody flesh our only food:
    In spite of which we like to think
    That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
    Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
