Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or cowley:

    “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)

    “Ah wretched We, Poets of Earth! but Thou
    Wert Living the same Poet which thou’rt Now,
    Whilst Angels sing to thee their ayres divine,
    And joy in an applause so great as thine.
    Equal society with them to hold,
    Thou need’st not make new Songs, but say the Old.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
