Sun Kings

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or kings:

    A feme may come, leaf-green,
    Whose coming may give revel
    Beyond revelries of sleep,
    Yes, and the blackbird spread its tail,
    So that the sun may speckle,
    While it creaks hail.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Whenever there’s a big war coming on, you should rope off a big field. And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put ‘em in the center dressed in their underpants and let them fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.
    Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
