THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
We're all going to become Saxon before it's over.

Nope. Never happen. Too many here posting, “We can’t do that. That would lower us to their standards”. Or words to that effect. So we just say,”If you want to strike me, go ahead and strike me. Soon your hand will tire. My face will heal.” If our grandfathers had that philosophy during World War 2, we would have been soap that some German washed their butt with. Bit it is what it is today.
