Across two counties he can hear
And catch your words before you speak.
The woodlouse or the maggot's weak clamour
Rings in his sad ear,
And noise so slight it would surpass credence.
Robert Graves-Lost love
As was the custom in such cases, the pear tree was charged with murder and sentenced to be uprooted and burned.
Robert Graves
I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them.
Robert Graves Lecture at Oxford as quoted in Time (15 December 1961)
Across two counties he can hear
And catch your words before you speak.
The woodlouse or the maggot's weak clamour
Rings in his sad ear,
And noise so slight it would surpass credence.
