Famous quotes containing the words legendary and/or monarchs:

    All legendary obstacles lay between
    Us, the long imaginary plain,
    The monstrous ruck of mountains
    John Montague (b. 1929)

    O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
    The brightest heaven of invention!
    A kingdom for a stage, princes to act,
    And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
