Quotes

• As I came down the Highgate Hill,
  The Highgate Hill, the Highgate Hill,
  As I came down the Highgate Hill
  I met the sun's bravado,
  And saw below me, fold on fold,
  Grey to pearl and pearl to gold,
  This London like a land of old,
  The land of Eldorado.
  • London, from Romances (1917). Compare: Alfred Noyes, Go down to Kew in Lilac-time.
