    “The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
    —Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)

    ““Eva!” Each syllable
    Light as a flower fell;
    “Eva!” he whispered the
    Wondering maid;”
    —Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)

    “The house had gone to bring again
    To the midnight sky a sunset glow.
    Now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
    Like a pistil after the petals go.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
