I love this poem, chuck anything at us Brits we love it when things are simple as this.

Always one of my favourites - and it took me years to get the joke in that last line.

Chesterton's Battle of Lepanto asks some searching questions of Islam - but probably too bluntly for it to be safe to perform these days.

He was a hairball of prejudices, but at least he was honest about it.

@thallassocracy What is the joke in the last line? I'm not getting it.

Kensal Green was an one of the first Victorian 'garden cemeteries'. Chesterton reminds us that the only place prettier than a garden cemetery in England is Paradise itself.
