Additional quotes by Stephen Spender

And then the heart in its white sailing pride Launches among the swans and the stretched lights Laid on the water, as on your cheek The other kiss and my listening Life, waiting for all your life to speak.

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

Through man’s love and woman’s love
Moons and tides move
Which fuse those islands, lying face to face.
Mixing in naked passion,
Those who naked new life fashion
Are themselves reborn in naked grace.

Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother / With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit. - Stephen Spender
