Famous quotes containing the words pious and/or king:

    The pious ones of Plymouth who, reaching the Rock, first fell upon their own knees and then upon the aborigines.

    Thy great leaves enfold
    The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold
    Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes
    Saw the Pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise
    In Druid vapour and make the torches dim....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
