Queens Start Colonies

Famous quotes containing the words queens, start and/or colonies:

    “Your strength, that is so lofty and fierce and kind,

    Is but half yours....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There the traveler meets, aghast,
    Sheeted memories of the past—
    Shrouded forms that start and sigh
    As they pass the wanderer by—
    White-robed forms of friends long given,
    In agony, to the earth—and heaven.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    So that’s our new flag. The thing we’ve been fighting for—thirteen stripes for the colonies and thirteen stars in a circle for the union.
    Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
