...personal vision earned him membership in the Order of Merit, an honor limited to 24 living persons; of a coronary thrombosis; in Twickenham, England. A delicate, meticulous stylist, shy, ruddy-faced De la Mare was best loved for his children's tales and verses-some as chilling and profound as a child's daydream, others as sensitive and whimsical as the man himself. (Said Poet W.H. Auden: "A child brought up on such verses may break his mother's heart or die on the gallows but he will never suffer from a tin ear.") To his eleven...

Our Lord Jesus would have to pass through streets frequented by more than 200 people who with their anti-Christian votes publicly renounced and trampled upon God, the Church, religion and civilization . . .
