Un sot trouve toujours un plus sot qui l'admire.A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.

Arthur Conan Doyle

I hope that the kind reader recognises this as a despairing attempt at humour.

I hope that the kind reader recognises this as a despairing attempt at humour.

Here dwell together still two men of noteWho never lived and so can never die:How very near they seem, yet how remoteThat age before the world went all awry.But still the game’s afoot for those with earsAttuned to catch the distant view-halloo:England is England yet, for all our fears–Only those things the heart believes are true.A yellow fog swirls past the window-paneAs night descends upon this fabled street:A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.Here, though the world explode, these two survive,And it is always eighteen ninety-five.
