"And in that Heaven of all their wish, there shall be no more land, say fish"

"A pulse in the eternal mind, no less, gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given. Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; and laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, in hearts at peace, under an English heaven."

"If I should die, think only this of me: that there's some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England."

"Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night."

"The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets."

"We always love those who admire us; we do not always love those whom we admire."
