← All quotes by William Plomer

2 quotes

Out of that bungled, unwise war
An alp of unforgiveness grew.

Collected Poems (1960)

With first-rate sherry flowing into second-rate whores,
And third-rate conversation without one single pause:
Just like a young couple
Between the wars.

The Dorking Thigh, and Other Satires (1945)
