Feast of the Despots And The Three Kings Of Hell
A dense column piece mixes literary excerpt and historical reflections. It revisits a mythical trio of tyrants who conquered the globe, their downfall announced by a thunderous divine call for peace, alongside brief notes on Shakespeare, a railway accident verdict, a grim French execution, Petrarchan dreams, and literary asides. The tone mirrors old column miscellany with vivid imagery and moral contrasts, weaving poetry with curio items and excerpts.
