1st Earl Howe

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or howe:

    Alas, so all things now do hold their peace:
    Heaven and earth disturbed in no thing:
    The beasts, the air, the birds their song do cease;
    The nightes chare the stars about doth bring.

    In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
    With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
    As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free;
    —Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910)
