Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or sovereign:

    “High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “If these were only words that I am speaking
    Indifferent sounds and not the heraldic-ho
    Of the clear sovereign that is reality,
    Of the clearest reality that is sovereign,
    How should I repeat them, keep repeating them....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
