2nd Earl of March

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or march:

    A doubtful choice, of these three which to crave,
    A kingdom, or a cottage, or a grave.

    What if there’s nothing up there at the top?
    Where are the captains that govern mankind?
    What tears down a tree that has nothing within it?
    A blast of wind, O a marching wind,
    March wind, and any old tune,
    March march and how does it run.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
