The British Poet Laureate's paean to Chamberlain is so incredibly ironic....

As Priam to Achilles for his son,
So you, into the night, divinely led,
To ask that young men’s bodies not yet dead,
Beg given from the battle not begun.

Chamberlain, savior of the world.... Again, we see hope trumping evidence.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Poets Laureate should probably steer clear of current events as inspiration for their work. Otherwise they might end up looking ridiculous.
