More quotes by Cecil Day-Lewis
Flying alone! Nothing gives such a sense of mastery over time over mechanism, mastery indeed over space, time, and life itself, as this.
Cecil Day-Lewis
We do not write in order to be understood we write in order to understand.
Cecil Day-Lewis
Now the peak of summer's past, the sky is overcast And the love we swore would last for an age seems deceit.
Cecil Day-Lewis
To travel like a bird, lightly to view | Deserts where stone gods founder in the sand, | Ocean embraced in a white sleep with land | To escape time, always to start anew... | Hooded by a dark sense of destination... | Travelers, we're fabric of the road we go We settle, but like feathers on time's flow.
Cecil Day-Lewis
