“With fairest flowers
Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
Ill sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
The flower thats like thy face, pale primrose, nor
The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
Outsweetened not thy breath.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sundays washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of resta practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
