Quote of the Day (John Betjeman, on ‘Unkept Promises and Broken Hearts’)

“Time, bring back

The rapturous ignorance of long ago,

The peace, before the dreadful daylight starts,

Of unkept promises and broken hearts.”—British poet laureate Sir John Betjeman (1906-1984), “Norfolk” (1954), in his Collected Poems (2014)
