Murdered Empress Xu

Famous quotes containing the words murdered and/or empress:

    “An age is the reversal of an age:
    When strangers murdered Emmet, Fitzgerald, Tone,
    We lived like men that watch a painted stage.
    What matter for the scene, the scene once gone:
    It had not touched our lives.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The Empress is Legitimist, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.”
    —Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
