Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The War Diary of a Square Peg, 1920 There was hardly, I think, any Immortal who really doubted the kindness and courage of Momus. The Father of the gods had requested Momus, "Speak with full confidence, for it is clear that your frankness will be intended for our common good." And Momus had replied, "Well then, listen, gods, to what comes straight from the heart, as the saying goes." With the exception of one, the criticisms contained in this Diary are applicable to all the nations recently at war and to most of the neutral nations. It is due to my belief that one or two States adopted the wiser policy of trust during the War. Nations, like individuals, have their virtues and their failings, but human love is often actually intensified through these shortcomings. England is the land that gave us Sir John Eliot, the man who said, "None have gone about to break Parliaments, but in the end Parliaments have broken them." Behind all my fault-finding is to be found the same spirit of service and loyalty that swayed Galfridus Mügge, a Member of Parliament for Guildford in 1415, and Daniel Mügge, the King´s Commissioner in 1538; and this deep-rooted affection will save me from the fate of Momus.
