Famous quotes containing the words saintly and/or emperor:
“But hail thou Goddess, sage and holy,
Hail divinest Melancholy,
Whose saintly visage is too bright
To hit the sense of human sight,
And therefore to our weaker view
O’erlaid with black, staid Wisdom’s hue;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Even the emperor has straw-sandaled relatives.”
