    “I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”

    “Their time past, pulled down
    cracked and flung to the fire
    Mgo up in a roar

    All recognition lost, burnt clean
    clean in the flame, the green
    dispersed,”
