England Lost

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or lost:

“We make a mistake forsaking England and moving out into the periphery of life. After all, Taormina, Ceylon, Africa, America—as far as we go, they are only the negation of what we ourselves stand for and are: and we’re rather like Jonahs running away from the place we belong.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,
Though foolishly he lost the same,
Decaying more and more,”
