Famous quotes containing the words palace and/or burial:
“It ain’t home t’ ye, though it be the palace of a king,

Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.
Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
