Text of the day: “A war. If only there were a war in England, not that endless — slow, sullen defeat. Why don’t the bastards take up arms against such a government? Then we poets would be of some use, we’d do the songs, the banners, the shouts, but no. Sullen silence.” (Byron in Howard Brenton’s Bloody Poetry)
