He travelled widely in far places;

Wrote, and was widely read.

Soldiered, saw some of danger's faces,

Came home to Nettlebed.

The squire lies here, his journeys ended —

Dust, and a name on a stone —

Content, amid the lands he tended,

To keep this rendezvous alone.

• "Public opinion in England is sharply divided on the subject of Russia. On the one hand you have the crusty majority, who believe it to be a hell on earth; on the other you have the half-baked minority who believe it to be a terrestrial paradise in the making. Both cling to their opinions with the tenacity, respectively, of the die-hard and the fanatic. Both are hopelessly wrong." — One's Company
