Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or gardens:

    “Insensibility, of all kinds, and on all occasions, most moves my imperial displeasure.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
