White Lords

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or lords:

    “For should your hands drop white and empty
    All the toys of the world would break.”
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    “The lords of life, the lords of life,—
    I saw them pass
    In their own guise,
    Like and unlike,
    Portly and grim,—
    Use and surprise,
    Surface and dream,
    Succession swift, and spectral wrong,
    Temperament without a tongue,
    And the inventor of the game
    Omnipresent without name;—”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
