2nd Earl of Winchester

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or winchester:

    Man differs more from Man, than Man from Beast.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    Up from the South at break of day,
    Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
    The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
    Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
    The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
    Telling the battle was on once more,
    And Sheridan twenty miles away.
    Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
