Strikes King

Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:

    Kassandra shakes out her hair
    Its gold clasped
    With half-opened laurel-shoots
    When the god strikes her
    With his breath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Would you—be good enough—” Alice panted out, after running a little further, “to stop a minute—just to get—one’s breath again?”
    “I’m good enough,” the King said, “only I’m not strong enough. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
