Elbert Hubbard's Scrap Book, Inspired Quotes Circa 1923 by Roycrofters
 
A murdered man, ten miles away.
Will hardly shake your peace,
Like one red stain upon your hand;
And a tortured child in a distant land
Will never check one smile today,
Or bid one fiddle cease.
The News
It came along a little wire, sunk in a deep sea;
It thins in the clubs to a little smoke
Between one joke and another joke,
For a city in flames is less than the fire
That comforts you and me
The diplomats
Each was honest in his way,
Lukewarm in faith and old;
And blood, to them, was only a word,
And the point of a phrase, their only sword,
And the cost of war, they reckoned it
in little disk of gold.
from
"The Wine Press, by Alfred Noyes
