Eleventh Earl

Famous quotes containing the words eleventh and/or earl:

    I was thinking of a son.
    The womb is not a clock
    nor a bell tolling,
    but in the eleventh month of its life
    I feel the November
    of the body as well as of the calendar.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is reported here that the King of Prussia has gone mad and has been locked up. There would be nothing bad about that: at least that might of his would no longer be a menace, and you could breathe freely for a while. I much prefer madmen who are locked up to those who are not.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
