Famous quotes containing the words feudal and/or lords:

    “What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
    —Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)

    “set upon a golden bough to sing
    To lords and ladies of Byzantium
    Of what is past, or passing, or to come.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
