    Guide our Forces by Thy Hand,

    Protect them Lord in all their fights,
    And, even more, protect the whites.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    “Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
