1st Earl of Sandwich

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or sandwich:

    I am in the pitiable situation of feeling all the force of temptation without having the strength to succumb to it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
