Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or creation:

    “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)

    “She sings as the moon sings:
    “I am I, am I;
    The greater grows my lift
    The further that I fly.”
    All creation shivers
    With that sweet cry.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
