Quote of the Day for 2016-07-28


"Here richly, with ridiculous display, / The Politician's corpse was laid away. / While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged / I wept : for I had longed to see him hanged."

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) "Epitaph on the Politician Himself," The London Mercury (November 1922)
