Simon Armitage, Walking Home: A Poet's Journey“And wonder, dread and warhave lingered in that landwhere loss and love in turnhave held the upper hand.”
Simon Armitage, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight“This misfortune you find is of your own manufacture.Keep hold of what you have, it will harm no other,for hatred comes home to the hand that chose it.”
