Famous quotes containing the words john and/or bowers:

    Approval of what is approved of
    Is as false as a well-kept vow.
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
    Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
    And desolation saddens all thy green;
    One only master grasps the whole domain,
    And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
