Silent King

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or king:

    Then, lastly, let some weekly strewings be
    Devoted to the memory of me:
    Then shall my ghost not walk about, but keep
    Still in the cool and silent shades of sleep.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
