Western Roman Emperor

Famous quotes containing the words western, roman and/or emperor:

“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)

“The Roman world is in collapse but we do not bend our neck.”
—Jerome (c. 340–420)

“The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
