Famous quotes containing the words english and/or electric:

    “Here tulips bloom as they are told;
    Unkempt about those hedges blows
    An English unofficial rose;”
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    “Flabby, bald, lobotomized,
    he drifted in a sheepish calm,
    where no agonizing reappraisal
    jarred his concentration of the electric chair—
    hanging like an oasis in his air
    of lost connections. . . .”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
