    “Oh! full Surrey twilight! importunate band!
    Oh! strongly adorable tennis-girl’s hand!”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    “All’s pathos now. The body that was gross,
    Rank, ravenous, disgusting in the act or in repose,
    All fever, filth and sweat, its bestial strength
    And bestial decay, by pain and labour grows at length
    Fragile and luminous.”
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)
