Palace Lock Heart

Famous quotes containing the words palace, lock and/or heart:

    The homely Nurse doth all she can
    To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
    Forget the glories he hath known,
    And that imperial palace whence he came.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    They learned to rattle the lock and key
    To give whatever might chance to be,
    Warning and time to be off in flight:
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
