And settled all the inconvenient saints,
Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
Then they could set about imperial expansion
Accompanied by industrial development.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.”
—Michael J. Barry (18171889)
