I have tasted you, and I hunger and thirst after you. You have touched me, and I have burned for your peace.

• And still I look for the men who will dare to be
  roses of England
  wild roses of England
  men who are wild roses of England
  with metal thorns, beware!
  but still more brave and still more rare
  the courage of rosiness in a cabbage world
  fragrance of roses in a stale stink of lies
  rose-leaves to bewilder the clever fools
  and rose-briars to strangle the machine.
