Famous quotes containing the words red and/or king:

    “With the old kindness, the old distinguished grace,
    She lies, her lovely piteous head amid dull red hair
    Propped upon pillows, rouge on the pallor of her face.
    She would not have us sad because she is lying there,
    And when she meets our gaze her eyes are laughter-lit,
    Her speech a wicked tale that we may vie with her....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ““I see nobody on the road,” said Alice.
    “I only wish I had such eyes,” the King remarked in a fretful tone. “To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it’s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
