Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or armour:
“The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.”

“Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
