Famous quotes containing the words eras and/or reign:

    “Some eras worship infancy; some, the aged. None as yet has adored middle age.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “I am monarch of all I survey;
    My right there is none to dispute;
    From the center all round to the sea
    I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
    O Solitude! where are the charms
    That sages have seen in thy face?
    Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
    Than reign in this horrible place.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
