Famous quotes containing the words earl, castle and/or stewart:

    But oh, how slowly minutes roll
    When absent from her eyes,
    That feed my love, which is my soul:
    It languishes and dies.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    The splendor falls on castle walls
    And snowy summits old in story;
    The long light shakes across the lakes,
    And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
    Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
    Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    ... it is not the color of the skin that makes the man or the woman, but the principle formed in the soul. Brilliant wit will shine, come from whence it will; and genius and talent will not hide the brightness of its lustre.
    —Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
