Famous quotes containing the words sole and/or reign:
“That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
