Famous quotes containing the words sue and/or townsend:

    Apart, we think we wish ourselves together,
    Yet sue for solitude upon our meetings....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.
    —Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
