Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or pretender:
“‘What is the world, O soldiers?
It is I,

This northern sky;”

“Nature, hating art and pains,
Baulks and baffles plotting brains;
Casualty and Surprise
Are the apples of her eyes;
But she dearly loves the poor,
And, by marvel of her own,
Strikes the loud pretender down.”
