Surrey Won

Famous quotes containing the words surrey and/or won:

    But I was trying to tell you about a strange thing
    That happened to me, but this is no way to tell about it,
    By making it truly happen. It drifts away in fragments.
    And one is left sitting in the yard
    To try to write poetry
    Using what Wyatt and Surrey left around....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The belief in immortality has always seemed cowardly to me. When very young I learned that all things die, and all that we wish of good must be won on this earth or not at all.
    Anne Smedley (c. 1894–1950)
