Queen Charlotte Islands

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or islands:

    “I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
    Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
    A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
    Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
    With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What are the islands to me
    if you are lost
    what is Naxos, Tinos, Andros,
    and Delos, the clasp
    of the white necklace?”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
