THE WORLD STATE.
Oh, how I love Humanity, With love so pure and pringlish. And how I hate the horrid French, Who never will be English! The International Idea, The largest and the clearest, Is welding all the nations now, Except the cne that’s nearest. This compromise has long been known This scheme of partial pardons, In ethical societies And small suburban gardens—. The villas and the chapels, where I learned with little labour, The way to love my fellow-man, And hate my next-door neighbour. —G. K. Chestertofi.
