Famous quotes containing the word earthly:
“The waves have now a redder glow—
The hours are breathing faint and low—

Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.”

To show all honor to an earthly king;”

I am in this earthly world, where to do harm
Is often laudable, to good sometimes
Accounted dangerous folly.”
