“Will there never come a season Which shall rid us from the curse? Of a prose which knows no reason And an unmelodious verse: When the world shall cease to wonder At the genius of an Ass, And a boy's eccentric blunder Shall not bring success to pass: When mankind shall be delivered From the clash of magazines, And the inkstand shall be shivered Into countless smithereens: When there stands a muzzled stripling, Mute, beside a muzzled bore: When the Rudyards cease from Kipling And the Haggards Ride no more.” KnowsWorldReasonWonderBoysMankindGeniusSeasonsCeaseAssMagazinesCurseProseNo ReasonBoresVersesClashEccentricMuteBlundersHaggardKipling Author:James Kenneth Stephen

“Ram, ass, and horse, my Kyrnos, we look over With care, and seek good stock for good to cover; And yet the best men make no argument, But wed, for money, runts of poor descent. So too a woman will demean her state And spurn the better for the richer mate. Money's the cry. Good stock to bad is wed And bad to good, till all the world's cross-bred. No wonder if the country's breed declines- Mixed metal, Kyrnos, that but dimly shines.” IfsMenWorldLooksCountryStatesCarePoorWonderCryArgumentCrossesHorseShiningAssMatesMetalsDeclineEugenicsDescentRamsRunts Author:Theognis of Megara
