Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “A doubtful choice, of these three which to crave,
    A kingdom, or a cottage, or a grave.”
    —Edward De Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550–1604)
