Speaking English

Famous quotes containing the words speaking and/or english:

“Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
To those that cannot say good-by themselves.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The “Communism” of the English intellectual is something explicable enough. It is the patriotism of the deracinated.”
