Come on English fans . this forum gotta be interesting.
another quotation i'd like to add is from Gray's Elegy written in the country church yard
" Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd,
Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre:"
these are his best lines ever that mourn the poors and those who have no one to mourn their death. he's saying : if those farmers and ordinary people got the chance to do something , they would have done it 'cause they got the got
and they got the motivation

I donno, but i like it very much
