French King

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or king:

    The third day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Three French hens,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 8–10)

    The firelight of a long, blind, dreaming story
    Lingers upon your lips; and I have seen
    Firm, fixed forever in your closing eyes,
    The Corn King beckoning to his Spring Queen.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
