King Street Alexandria

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or street:

    Oh the rose, the rose, the gentle rose,
    And the fennel that grows so green!
    God give us grace in every place
    To pray for our king and queen.
    Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 41–44)

    I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
