Rogue Queen

Famous quotes containing the words rogue and/or queen:

    It is said that a rogue does not look you in the face, neither does an honest man look at you as if he had his reputation to establish.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Half-opening her lips to the frost’s morning sigh, how strangely the rose has smiled on a swift-fleeting day of September!
    How audacious it is to advance in stately manner before the blue-tit fluttering in the shrubs that have long lost their leaves, like a queen with the spring’s greeting on her lips;
    to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostess’s breast.
    Afanasi Fet (1820–1892)
