Back to Greece (Truth Will Triumph)

It looks as if the volcanic ash is dispersing and will permit people to fly this week.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Or vice versa?

Having just watched Gordon Brown make a statement in front of Downing Street (5pm), I imagine the British public is utterly bewildered.

My 30 page chapter in "Greece and Britain Since 1945" (Cambridge Scholars Publishing) deals, in part, with the subject of truth and trust in international and bilateral relations.

Here's something I have just written, on the subject of truth:


Truth Will Triumph

“Cheer up, take courage, do not falter,
Truth will triumph by and by…”

C. B. Harman (1905)


It’s in the Book of Esdras
That Zorobabel said
“Truth bears away the victory”.
King Darius concurred:
“The truth is great,
It’s stronger than all things.
Above all, the truth endures,
It lives and conquers evermore”.

It’s in the Book of Esdras.

A pity it’s apocryphal.
