England Beat

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or beat:

    Why should I go to England with her? Because you bid me, or because she wishes it,—or simply because England is the most damnable, Puritanical, God-forgotten, and stupid country on the face of the globe?
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    I cannot halt
    The tread, the beat of it, it is my own heart,
    The walls of my room rise, it is still night,
    I have woken again before the word was spelt.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
