Queen Juliana

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or juliana:

    We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Your courteous lights in vain you waste,
    Since Juliana here is come,
    For she my mind hath so displaced
    That I shall never find my home.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
