Famous quotes containing the words earls, fourth 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)

    And he was lost among the waves,
    His ship rolled helpless in the sea,
    The fourth month of his voyage
    He shouted grievously
    “Beloved, do not think of me.”
    Alun Lewis (1915–1944)

    If they had said that the sun or the moon had gone out of the heavens, it could not have struck me with the idea of a more awful and dreary blank in creation than the words: “Byron is dead!”
    Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)
