The Conservative Journalist's Anthem
From A Midsummer Holiday and Other Poems
Religion
'As a matter of fact, no man living, or who ever lived--not
CAESAR or PERICLES, not SHAKESPEARE or MICHAEL ANGELO--could
confer honour more than he took on entering the House of
Lords.'--Saturday Review, December 15, 1883.
'Clumsy and shallow snobbery--can do no hurt.'--Ibid.
