• Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole; where, not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not a member of Bristol, but he is a member of parliament.

• Cuando salí una tarde, Caminando por la calle Bristol, La multitud sobre la acera Eran campos de trigo de cosecha. Y junto al río desbordante oí cantar a un amante Bajo un arco de la vía férrea: 'El amor no tiene fin. Te amaré, querida, te amaré hasta que China y África se encuentren, y el río salte por encima de la montaña y los salmones canten en la calle, te amaré hasta que el océano se pliegue y se cuelgue a secar y las siete estrellas graznen como gansos en el cielo.
