Evening Standard British

Famous quotes containing the words evening, standard and/or british:

    The skreak and skritter of evening gone
    And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,

    The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
    In measureless measures, not a bird for me....

    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)

    If we were doing this in the Falklands they would love it. It’s part of our heritage. The British have always been fighting wars.
