Prince Imperial

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or imperial:

    For that rage, that bitterness, those blows,
    That hatred of the slain, what could it be
    But indirectly or directly a commentary
    On the Crucifixion?
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)

    All the terrors of the French Republic, which held Austria in awe, were unable to command her diplomacy. But Napoleon sent to Vienna M. de Narbonne, one of the old noblesse, with the morals, manners, and name of that interest, saying, that it was indispensable to send to the old aristocracy of Europe men of the same connection, which, in fact, constitutes a sort of free- masonry. M. de Narbonne, in less than a fortnight, penetrated all the secrets of the imperial cabinet.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
