Realms

Famous quotes containing the word realms:

    I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Here thou, great Anna! whom three realms obey,
    Dost sometimes counsel take—and sometimes tea.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    In realms of knowledge, we bequeath our books,
    And woe pursue who to a master quotes
    The funnier of our witty marginal notes.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
