King Graham

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or graham:

    But the lightning which explodes and fashions planets, maker of planets and suns, is in him. On one side elemental order, sandstone and granite, rock-ledges, peat-bog, forest, sea and shore; and on the other part, thought, the spirit which composes and decomposes nature,—here they are, side by side, god and devil, mind and matter, king and conspirator, belt and spasm, riding peacefully together in the eye and brain of every man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I’ll make thee glorious by my pen
    And famous by my sword;
    I’ll serve thee in such noble ways
    Was never heard before;
    I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,
    And love thee more and more.
    —James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)
