Famous quotes containing the words queens and/or chronicle:

    “Your strength, that is so lofty and fierce and kind,
    It might call up a new age, calling to mind
    The queens that were imagined long ago,
    Is but half yours....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    She that was ever fair, and never proud,
    Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud
    ...
    She that could think, and ne’er disclose her mind,
    See suitors following, and not look behind.
    She was a wight, if ever such wight were—
    To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
