Famous quotes containing the word england:

“It’s easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.”

“We make a mistake forsaking England and moving out into the periphery of life. After all, Taormina, Ceylon, Africa, America—as far as we go, they are only the negation of what we ourselves stand for and are: and we’re rather like Jonahs running away from the place we belong.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
