Tomb Kings

Famous quotes containing the words tomb and/or kings:

“Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
Against whose portal she hath thrown,
In childhood, many an idle stone—
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne’er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“It is an imprudence common to kings to listen to too much advice and to err in their choice.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
