Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“When Mr. Apollinax visited the United States
His laughter tinkled among the teacups.
I thought of Fragilion, that shy figure among the birch-trees,
And of Priapus in the shrubbery
Gaping at the lady in the swing.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
