Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or cowper:

    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Toll for the brave—
    The brave! that are no more:
    All sunk beneath the wave,
    Fast by their native shore.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
