One foot in Eden still, I stand And look across the other land. The world’s great day is growing late, Yet strange these fields that we have planted So long with crops of love and hate.
Edwin Muir Quotes
The hills and towers Stood otherwise than they should stand, And without fear the lawless roads Ran wrong throughout the land.
