Quotes of Vincent Starrett - somelinesforyou

“ Here dwell together still two men of note Who never lived and so can never die: How very near they seem, yet how remote That age before the world went all awry. But still the game’s afoot for those with ears Attuned to catch the distant viewhalloo: England is England yet, for all our fears– Only those things the heart believes are true. A yellow fog swirls past the windowpane As night descends upon this fabled street: A lonely hansom splashes through the rain, The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet. Here, though the world explode, these two survive, And it is always eighteen ninetyfive. ”
