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)

    “By contemplation’s help,not sought in vain,
    I seem t’ have liv’d my childhood o’er again;
    To have renew’d the joys that once were mine,”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
