Lord Lyon

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or lyon:

    But at the coming of the King of Heaven
    All’s set at six and seven:
    We wallow in our sin;
    Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.
    —Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)

    ... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.
    M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
