Famous quotes containing the words ruling, house and/or france:

    Still doth the soul, from its lone fastness high,
    Upon our life a ruling effluence send.
    And when it fails, fight as we will, we die;
    And while it lasts, we cannot wholly end.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    This is the end, the redemption from Wilderness, way for the
    Wonderer, House sought for All, black handkerchief washed clean by
    weeping—page beyond Psalm—Last change of mine and Naomi—to Gods perfect Darkness—Death, stay thy phantoms!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    While learning the language in France a young man’s morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
