licorice quotes

  •    In the licorice fields at Pontefract My love and I did meet And many a burdened licorice bush Was blooming round our feet; Red hair she had and golden skin, Her sulky lips were shaped for sin, Her sturdy legs were flannel-slack'd, The strongest legs in Pontefract.

    - SirJohn Betjeman
      A Few Late Chrysanthemums,'The Licorice Fields at Pontefract'.
