King Friday

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or friday:

    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    And all alone comes riding there
    The King that could make his people stare,
    Because he had feathers instead of hair.
    A slow low note and an iron bell.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
