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)

    This is the day when people reciprocally offer, and receive, the kindest and the warmest wishes, though, in general, without meaning them on one side, or believing them on the other. They are formed by the head, in compliance with custom, though disavowed by the heart, in consequence of nature.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
