Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:
“Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now she’s turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (1553–1606)
“Never alone
Did the King sigh, but with a general groan.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
