“The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”

With rapid glide along the leaning line;
And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs”
