This was my country, and it may be yet,
But something flew between me and the sun.

More quotes by Edmund Charles Blunden

The field and wood, all bone-fed loam,
Set up a roaring harvest-home.

I am for the woods against the world,
But are the woods for me?

Can she who shines so calm be fear?
What poison pours she in slumber's ear?

Cricket to us, like you, was more than play,
It was a worship in the summer sun.

Dance on this ball-floor thin and wan,
Use him as though you love him;
Court him, elude him, reel and pass,
And let him hate you through the glass.
