“A line will take us hours maybe; / Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, / Our stitching and unstitching has been naught... Better go down upon your marrow-bones / And scrub a kitchen pavement, or break stones... For to articulate sweet sounds together / Is to work harder than all these, and yet / Be thought an idler by the noisy set.” IfsDoeHas BeensMomentsSeemsTogetherSoundHoursLinesBreakSweetHard WorkStonesHarderBonesKitchenWork HarderNoisyPavementMarrowIdlers Book:Later Poems Source: Later Poems

The broken carrot noses.” LooksMomentsSunKnowingSkyBrokenStonesSticksViolentNosesDawnHorizonCarrotsPuddlesSticks And StonesSnowman Author:Craig Stone

“England is the only civilised country in the world where it is etiquette to fall on the food like a wolf the moment it is served.
