Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or opera:

    These are not the artificial forests of an English king,—a royal preserve merely. Here prevail no forest laws but those of nature. The aborigines have never been dispossessed, nor nature disforested.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle; it suggests the idea of one.
