We are looking for a story.
A running story, like the war.
But not the war.
An English story.
Like Jack the Ripper.
Like the Titanic.
Like Scott of the Antarctic.
We miss the...
. . .
...y.
We are looking for a story.
That will set the peace ablaze.
A story that is not a question.
Not Irish.
And not emancipated women.
But which can be embroidered.
And photographed and sold.
(Where is that young man hurrying
With his notebook?)
And not the civil war in China.
(What is that noise in the telegraph wires?)
And not the riots in Egypt.
