“دخل الرتل الآن قرية مدمرة بسبب القصف، ربما كانت ضاحية مدينة صغيرة، فالمكان أنقاض برمّته ويصعب التعرف عليه؛ من يهتمّ؟ من في وسعه أن يصف هذه الفوضى ويأتي بأسماء القرى وبالتواريخ لتدوينها في كتب التاريخ ويتخذ موقفاً عقلانياً ويبدأ بتحديد المسؤول؟ لا أحد يعرف كيف سارت الأمور في هذا المكان، فإذا ما غابت التفاصيل انعدمت الصورة الكبرى.”

“At any rate, spring is here, even in London N.1, and they can't stop you enjoying it. This is a satisfying reflection. How many a time have I stood watching the toads mating, or a pair of hares having a boxing match in the young corn, and thought of all the important persons who would stop me enjoying this if they could. But luckily they can’t. So long as you are not actually ill, hungry, frightened or immured in a prison or a holiday camp, Spring is still Spring. The atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun, and neither the dictators nor the bureaucrats, deeply as they disapprove of the process, are able to prevent it.”
