Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or skies:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“O make harmonious mix of voice and string
To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)
