Famous quotes containing the words forgotten, realms and/or campaign:
“Victorious men of earth, no more
Proclaim how wide your empires are;
Though you bind in every shore
And your triumphs reach as far
As night or day,
Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)
“There is a god within us, and the heavens
Have intercourse with earth; from realms above
That spirit comes.”

—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
