Royal Favourite

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or favourite:

    Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
    Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
    How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
    Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
    To an inordinate race?
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    The big blue eyes are shut which saw wrong clothing
    And favourite fields and coverts from a horse;
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
