Famous quotes containing the words lesser and/or king:
“Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell
And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
And it is All Souls’ Night.
And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
For it is a ghost’s right....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The universe has no prince or king that it [Rome] would consider equal to its humblest citizen.”
