Famous quotes containing the words charles and/or tomlinson:

    As I was going by Charing Cross,
    I saw a black man upon a black horse;
    They told me it was King Charles the First—
    —Unknown. As I was going by Charing Cross (l. 1–3)

    There are portraits and still-lifes
    And the first, because ‘human’
    Does not excel the second,
    —Charles Tomlinson (b. 1927)
