Famous quotes containing the words king and/or colour:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“No one knows the colour of a flower
till it is broken.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
