1st Earl of Arlington

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or arlington:

    Women are only children of a larger growth.... A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    So on we worked, and waited for the light,
    And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
    And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
    Went home and put a bullet through his head.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
