Famous quotes containing the word queen:

    We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts.

    O Queen of air and darkness,
    I think ‘tis truth you say,
    And I shall die to-morrow;
    But you will die to-day.

    A warmth breathes out of her. She hath not been
    Entranced above five hours. See how she ‘gins
    To blow into life’s flower again.
