Tom's Cabin (1852), which brought her fame and aided the antislavery cause. She later started

26. The authors of these poems are: Thomas Hood ("The Bridge of Sighs"); Charles
Kingsley ("When all the world is young, lad" from "Young and Old"); Alfred, Lord Tennyson ("The
Charge of the Light Brigade"); Charles Wolfe ("The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna"); Leigh
Hunt ("Jenny kissed me" from "Rondeau"); Sidney Dobell ("Keith of Ravelston" from "A Nuptial

27. Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861) wrote no poem entitled "Endeavour." Churchill
quoted the last two stanzas of his lyric "Say not the struggle naught availeth" in his broadcast of May
3, 1941. The last line quoted was obviously directed at the United States, then providing much aid but
still seven months away from becoming a combatant: "But westward, look, the land is bright"; see
Churchill, The Second World War, III, 209–10; U.S.: The Grand Alliance, 237. It is possible that the
title "Endeavour" comes from a reprint of the poem in an anthology.
28. "The God of the Copybook Headings" (1919), RKV, 793–95. In the last line Kipling
has them "with terror and slaughter return!"

full stop after "luxuries," and a colon for a semicolon after "skeleton."
2. Sir J. C. Squire (1884–1958), journalist, essayist, and poet.
3. Alan Patrick Herbert (1890–1971; Kt., 1945; Order of the Companions Honour,
