Famous quotes containing the words back to and/or england:
“I was ten when they buried you.
At twenty I tried to die
And get back, back, back to you.”
—Sylvia Plath (19321963)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
