Edwin Muir Quotes

• The world's great day is growing late, Yet strange these fields that we have planted So long with crops of love and hate.
• Long time he lay upon the sunny hill, To his father's house below securely bound.
• They do not live in the world, Are not in time and space. From birth to death hurled No word do they have, not one To plant a foot upon, Were never in any place.
• I have observed in foolish awe The dateless mid-days of the law And seen indifferent justice done By everyone on everyone.
