Baron Brooke

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or brooke:

“People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”

“Here tulips bloom as they are told;
Unkempt about those hedges blows
An English unofficial rose;”
