Ziyadat Allah III

Famous quotes containing the words allah and/or iii:

    May Allah keep her
    And other wives from me. But this young slave
    For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
    My soul I can’t forget, nor her slack eyes:
    The oasis of age is sand and lies.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The Empress is Legitimist, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
    —Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
