Additional quotes by Stephen Spender

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

Him I delight in accepts joy as joy;
He is richened by sorrow as a river by its bends

When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.
