Royal Matron

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or matron:

    “But while meditating
    What we can’t or can
    Let’s keep starring man
    In the royal role.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Ye gentle souls, who dream of rural ease,
    Whom the smooth stream and smoother sonnet please;
    Go! if the peaceful cot your praises share,
    Go, look within, and ask if peace be there:
    If peace be his—that drooping weary sire,
    Of theirs, that offspring round their feeble fire,
    Or hers, that matron pale, whose trembling hand
    Turns on the wretched hearth th’ expiring brand.”
    —George Crabbe (1754–1832)
