POETIC NATION
“The English are a poetic people—one might say that they are the only poetic people. They have a poetry so great that the poetry of all the rest of tho world does not really begin to compete. .You can put the whole of the world’s poetry in one scale, and the English poetry in the other, and I am not sure that the English poetry will not outweigh it.”—Colonel Walter Elliot, M.P., talking about the English character in the BBC programme, “London Forum.”
