Sovereign

Famous quotes containing the word sovereign:

    To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation’s sweetest dreams of itself.

    O Sovereign of the willing soul,
    Parent of sweet and solemn-breathing airs,
    Enchanting shell!

    My maiden Isabel,
    Reflaring rosabel.
    The fragrant camomel;
    The ruddy rosary,
    The sovereign rosemary,
    The pretty strawberry;
    The columbine, the nept,
    The jelofer well set,
    The proper violet:
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)
