Evelyn Waugh Quotes
I Walked Down The Empty Broad To Breakfast, As I Often Did On Sundays, At A Tea-shop Opposite Balliol. The Air Was Full Of Bells From The Surrounding Spires And The Sun, Casting Long Shadows Across The Open Spaces, Dispelled The Fears Of Night. The Tea-shop Was Hushed As A Library; A Few Solitary Men In Bedroom Slippers From Balliol And Trinity Looked Up As I Entered, Then Turned Back To Their Sunday Newspapers. I Ate My Scrambled Eggs And Bitter Marmalade With The Zest Which In Youth Follows A Restless Night. I Lit A Cigarette And Sat On, While One By One The Balliol And Trinity Men Paid Their Bills And Shuffled Away, Slip-slop, Across The Street To Their Colleges. It Was Nearly Eleven When I Left, And During My Walk I Heard The Change-ringing Cease And, All Over The Town, Give Place To The Single Chime Which Warned The City That Service Was About To Start.
