Royal Stafford

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or stafford:

    “Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
    Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
    How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
    Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
    To an inordinate race?”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “a doe, a recent killing;
    she had stiffened already, almost cold.
    I dragged her off she was large in the belly.”
    —William Stafford (1914–1941)
