E. G. V. Knox

“ ODE TO THE SPIRIT OF WIRELESS VICTORY.
(An attempt, suggested by certain Marconigrams, to shed still further light on the nature of the principal Teutonic deity.)
What to thee are marching legions,
Cannon smoke and sabre thrust,
Goddess of the cloud-rimmed regions
In whose might the Germans trust?
Though, however high and regal,
Kingly pomp may break and bend
Soiled with murder (labelled legal) ,
Thou, more active than the eagle,
Thou endurest to the end. ”
