King Henri II

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or henri:

    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    And all alone comes riding there
    The King that could make his people stare,
    Because he had feathers instead of hair.
    A slow low note and an iron bell.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Why not make an end of it all?... My life is a succession of griefs and bitter feelings.... What is death?... A very small matter, when all is said; only a fool would be concerned about it.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
