Royal Wife

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or wife:

“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)

“When he has loved me,
goes but a step away
and returns
to love me again,
I’m like a wife whose husband’s away,
as if for that instant
he’s been exiled.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
