E. G. V. Knox

“ Teaching them not at first the subtler things
Of dogma, suited to a folk more wise,
Such gospel as ye bear to savage kings,
But "steal no longer" and "have done with lies."
Tell them that murder is esteemed "tabu,"
That the Red Cross is now a sacred sign;
Tell them no more than that; it wil be new;
They have no need of ritual on the Rhine.
Let presently a non-sectarian school,
Where knowledge shall be taught to Teuton men
That mumbo-jumbo is an out-worn rule,
Be built at Heidelberg or Gottingen. ”
