1st Earl Russell

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or russell:

    So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
    As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
    With a king’s son my childish years did pass
    In greater feast than Priam’s sons of Troy?
    Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticized for us!
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
