To England

Famous quotes containing the word england:

    and you undid the reins
    and I undid the buttons,
    the bones, the confusions,
    The New England postcards,
    the January ten o’clock night,
    and we rose up like wheat....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
