Additional quotes by Stephen Spender

The laurelled exiles, kneeling to kiss these sands. Number there freedom's friends. One who Within the element of endless summer, Like leaf in amber, petrified by light, Studied the root of action. One in a garret Read books as though he broke up flints.

My single pair of eyes Contain the universe they see; Their mirrored multiplicity Is packed into a hollow body Where I reflect the many, in my one.'

No one Shall hunger: Man shall spend equally. Our goal which we compel: Man shall be man.

Our single purpose was to walk through snow With faces swung to their prodigious North Like compass iron. - Stephen Spender
