"From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honour and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!”—English man of letters G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), “A Hymn: O God of Earth and Altar” (1914)
