Emperor Died

Famous quotes containing the words emperor and/or died:

“The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.”

“They said, “Here are the maps”; we burned the cities.
It was not dying—no, not ever dying;
But the night I died I dreamed that I was dead,
And the cities said to me: “Why are you dying?
We are satisfied, if you are; but why did I die?””
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
