England Lost

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or lost:

    In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.
    Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)

    This man is quickened so with grief.
    He wanders god-like or like thief
    Inside and out, below, above,
    Without relief seeking lost love.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
