A.E. Coppard Quotes

A High Upland Common Was This Moor, Two Miles From End To End, And Full Of Furze And Bracken. There Were No Trees And Not A House, Nothing But A Line Of Telegraph Poles Following The Road, Sweeping With Rigidity From North To South; Nailed Upon One Of Them A Small Scarlet Notice To Stonethrowers Was Prominent As A Wound. On So High And Wide A Region As Shag Moor The Wind Always Blew, Or If It Did Not Quite Blow There Was A Cool Activity In The Air. The Furze Was Always Green And Growing, And, Taking No Account Of Seasons, Often Golden. Here In Summer Solitude Lounged And Snoozed; At Other Times, As Now, It Shivered And Looked Sinister. ("The Higgler")
