Base Kings Bay

Famous quotes containing the words base, kings and/or bay:

    “I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and “manage” by base arts a husband or a father,—I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.”
    —Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)

    “What infinite heart’s ease
    Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy!
    And what have kings, that privates have not too,
    Save ceremony, save general ceremony?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
