G. K. Chesterton Quote

We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea,
And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.


'The Secret People' (1915)


We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea, And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.

We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea, And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.

We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea, And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.

We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea, And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.
