Matthew Arnold, 1822-1888
English critic and poet
On Inequality
Our inequality materializes our upper class, vulgarizes our middle class, brutalizes our lower class.
The Last Word
They out-talk'd thee, hiss'd thee, tore thee.Better men fared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and pass'd,
Hotly charged - and broke at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall.
