Famous quotes containing the word earthly:

“These earthly godfathers of Heaven’s lights,
That give a name to every fixed star,
Have no more profit of their shining nights
Than those that walk and wot not what they are.”

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

O minstrel galleons of Carib fire,
Bequeath us to no earthly shore until
Is answered in the vortex of our grave
The seal’s wide spindrift gaze toward paradise.”
