Overtures to Death and Other Poems QUOTES

1 " In June we picked the clover,
And sea-shells in July:
There was no silence at the door,
No word from the sky.

A hand came out of August
And flicked his life away:
We had not time to bargain, mope,
Moralize, or pray. "

― Cecil Day-Lewis , Overtures to Death and Other Poems
