Famous quotes containing the word england:

    “Upon Saint Crispin’s day
    Fought was this noble fray,
    Which fame did not delay
    To England to carry.
    On when shall Englishmen
    With such acts fill a pen,
    Or England breed again
    Such a King Harry?”
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    “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.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    “Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
