Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or lords:

    “She might, so noble from head
    To great shapely knees
    The long flowing line,
    Have walked to the altar
    Through the holy images
    At Pallas Athena’s side....”

    “The lords of life, the lords of life,—
    I saw them pass
    In their own guise,
    Like and unlike,
    Portly and grim,—
    Use and surprise,
    Surface and dream,
    Succession swift, and spectral wrong,
    Temperament without a tongue,
    And the inventor of the game
    Omnipresent without name;—”
