That, perhaps, would explain the following verse of “Gods of the Copybook Headings”:
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
Europe lost its best via emigration to the New World. The best that remained was mostly slaughtered in World War I. What was left was lost in World War II, and now, the “floor-sweepings” of the gene pool are busy surrendering to the Caliphate!
Sic Transit Gloria Munde!
We have never recovered from the loss of so many true warriors.

In 1935 a British writer named Arthur Mee coined the term "thankful village". These were villages or towns or parishes in the United Kingdom and Ireland who had lost none of their sons to the Great War. Of all the thousands of cities and towns and hamlets and parishes only 85 have been identified as Thankful Villages. Of those, only 14 are classified as doubly thankful in that the also lost none of their sons in World War 2.
In France, where the same survey was also conducted, the number of "Thankful Villages"? One.
The Tsar was a grandson-in-law to Queen Victoria. Any blood relationship he had to her was much more distant.
Thanks for the correction - the startling physical resemblance he had to George V and the fact that they (and Kaiser Wilhelm) were first cousins led me to assume that Victoria was his grandmother.
