1st Earl of Richmond

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or richmond:

    A man of sense soon discovers, because he carefully observes, where and how long he is welcome; and takes care to leave the company at least as soon as he is wished out of it. Fools never perceive whether they are ill timed or ill placed.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew
    Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees
    Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.”

    “My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart
    Under my feet.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
