Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or creation:

    “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)

    “Like witches they flew along rows
    Keeping creation at ease;
    With a tendril for needle
    They sewed up the air with a stem;”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
