Famous quotes containing the words england and/or match:

“I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather. I don’t know who makes that, but I think it must be raw apprentices in the weather-clerk’s factory who experiment and learn how.... In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
