“Hay! now the day dawis;
The jolie Cok crawis;
Now shroudis the shawis,
Throw Natur anone.
The thissell-cok cryis
On lovers wha lyis.
Now skaillis the skyis:
The nicht is neir gone.”
—Alexander Montgomery (1540?–1610?)
“The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
