3rd Earl of Surrey

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or surrey:

    this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful
    and terrible thing, needful to man as air,
    usable as earth;
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    But I was trying to tell you about a strange thing
    That happened to me, but this is no way to tell about it,
    By making it truly happen. It drifts away in fragments.
    And one is left sitting in the yard
    To try to write poetry
    Using what Wyatt and Surrey left around....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
