William Sansom Quotes

I Suppose We Were Worn Down And Shivering. Three A.m. Is A Mean Spirited Hour. I Suppose We Were Drenched, With The Cold Hose Water Trickling In At Our Collars And Settling Down At The Tail Of Our Shirts. Without Doubt The Heavy Brass Couplings Felt Moulded From Metal-ice. Probably The Open Roar Of The Pumps Drowned The Petulant Buzz Of The Raiders Above, And Certainly The Ubiquitous Fire-glow Made An Orange Stage-set Of The Streets. Black Water Would Have Puddled The City Alleys And I Suppose Our Hands And Faces Were Black As The Water. Black With Hacking About Among The Burnt-up Rafters. These Things Were An Every-night Nonentity. They Happened And They Were Not Forgotten Because They Were Not Even Remembered.
