Famous quotes containing the words royal, air and/or force:

    “High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “Spread outward. Crack the round dome. Break through.
    Have liberty not as the air within a grave
    Or down a well. Breathe freedom, oh, my native,
    In the space of horizons that neither love nor hate.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Much is the force of heaven-bred poesy.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
