...Cockcrow: one swears he knows Him not; Thence is a Church begot.)- was the angel Gabriel in disguise-who crew also in Eden when Eve plucked the forbidden fruit, and will crow again ("in the days of great persecution of the Jews, and of intestine wars") when Satan, soul nauseated by his triumphant corruption of the world, prays God to put an end to mankind. Since Gabriel's first cockcrow, seven Messiahs have done their miraculous best to redeem mankind. But their efforts only went to convince Donne in the 17th Century-and only go to reconvince Olson...
...annual fees. Viscount Caldecote, who as Sir Thomas Inskip did more to prevent changes in the Anglican prayer book than he did to increase colonial plant production, was sidetracked to Lord Chief Justice. Brought in out of the rain was thin-faced, properly cravated Viscount Cranborne, Anthony Eden's "Foreign Office twin" whose loyalty was at last rewarded when he was named to Lord Caldecote's vacated post as Dominions' Secretary.

Another Piccadilly stroller on a bright moonlit night wore a black jacket and a black Eden hat, carried an umbrella sedately over his head against the shrapnel shower...
...averted their eyes from posters which blossomed on walls here & there in the city. The posters carried a blasphemous "Prayer of the Perfect Italian Fascist," which clumsily parodied the ancient supplications of Christians: Credo I believe in England, zone of tyranny, creator of sanctions and Masonic gods, and in Eden, her son, our only axman, -who was conceived by virtue of Masonic and anti-Fas cist spirits, was born out of the League of Nations, will suffer always under the spirit of Mussolini, went down to Hell with his father. . . . I believe in the holy Fascist cause, in the resurrection...
