Famous quotes containing the words caroline, flying and/or fox:

    In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    If, during his daily walk, he met any children flying kites, playing marbles, or whirling peg tops, he would buy the toys from them and exhort them not to gamble or indulge in vain sport.
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    His berd as any sowe or fox was reed,
    And therto brood, as though it were a spade.
    Upon the cop right of his nose he hade
    A werte, and theron stood a toft of herys
    Reed as the brustles of a sowes erys.
    His nosethirles blake were and wyde.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
