Famous quotes containing the words english, speaking and/or nations:

    Forget all feuds, and shed one English tear
    O’er English dust. A broken heart lies here.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    A man growing old is going
    down the dark stairs.
    He has been speaking of the Soul
    tattooed with the Law.
    Of dreams
    burnt in the bone.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “... There, there,
    What you complain of, all the nations share.
    Their effort is a mounting ecstasy
    That when it gets too exquisite to bear
    Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
    That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
