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
We have seen Good men made evil wrangling with the evil, Straight minds grown crooked fighting crooked minds. Our peace betrayed us; we betrayed our peace. Look at it well. This was the good town once.
