Famous quotes containing the words eras and/or reign:
“Some eras worship infancy; some, the aged. None as yet has adored middle age.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
