Edith Sitwell Quote

The past and present
Are as one –
Accordant and discordant
Youth and age
And death and birth –
For out of one came all
From all comes one.


Collected poems (1957)


The past and present Are as one – Accordant and discordant Youth and age And death and birth – For out of one came all From all comes one.
