W. H. Davies Zitate

Cockneys make good beggars. They are held in high esteem by the fraternity in America. Their resource, originality and invention, and a never-faltering tongue enable them to often attain their ends where others fail, and they succeed where the natives starve.

Cockneys machen gute Bettler. Sie werden von der Bruderschaft in Amerika hoch geschätzt. Ihre Ressourcen, Originalität und Erfindungsreichtum und eine nie zögernde Zunge ermöglichen es ihnen, oft dort zu arbeiten, wo andere versagen, und sie sind dort erfolgreich, wo die Eingeborenen verhungern.
