England Lost

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or lost:

“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“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)
