Famous quotes containing the words borgia and/or portraits:

    “I shall not want Society in Heaven,
    Lucretia Borgia shall be my Bride;
    Her anecdotes will be more amusing
    Than Pipit’s experience could provide.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “You that would judge me do not judge alone
    This book or that, come to this hallowed place
    Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
    Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
    Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
    And say my glory was I had such friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
