Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or montrose:

    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “I’ll make thee glorious by my pen
    And famous by my sword;
    I’ll serve thee in such noble ways
    Was never heard before;
    I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,
    And love thee more and more.”
    —James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)
