Thumbs Up! A Pentagram – A Pantacle to Win the War

…e are the ghosts and gods, Fear’s strangled emerods, Thought’s spider snares; Dead are the craven creeds; Truth demands noble deeds, All free man dares. Men, be your own recourse! Waste not your fire and force In fatuous prayers!

In God we trust.

Thumbs Up! A Pentagram – A Pantacle to Win the War

…STAND FAST! England, stand fast! Stand fast against the foe! They struck the first blow: we shall strike the last. Peace at the price of Freedom? We say No. England, stand fast! The earth hurls thunderbolts; the sea spurts death; The skies drop murder; hell itself aghast Answer, with steady eye and easy breath! England, stand fast! England, the centuries have not sent thee shame. Tamer of tyrants, from thy purple past Thy heroes call thee, from their heaven of fame: England, stand fast! England, resistless as the gales that sweep Thy seas, and …
