Famous quotes containing the words king and/or stadium:

    “King Herod shrieking vengeance at the curled
    Up knees of Jesus choking in the air,

    A king of speechless clods and infants. Still
    The world out-Herods Herod;”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
    —Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
