Robert Earl Hayden

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or hayden:

    Remember, that when I speak of pleasures I always mean the elegant pleasures of a rational being, and not the brutal ones of a swine. I mean la bonne chère, short of gluttony; wine, infinitely short of drunkenness; play, without the least gaming; and gallantry, without debauchery.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Time was. Time was.
    White robes like moonlight

    In the sweetgum dark.
    Unbucked that one then
    and him squealing bloody Jesus
    as we cut it off.
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
