English Christmas

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or christmas:

    Red lips are not so red As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
    Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
    Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
    Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
    Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
    In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
