Two voices

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

'Let us speak with a united voice' (Mr Harold Wilson).

Two voices are there—one from Brother Brown, Crying to the skies he'll bring the bacon home Wrapped in the paper of the Pact of Rome. No angry protestations shout him down.

The other's Douglas Jay, whose tutored study, In agony at something of de Gaulle's, Shrinking behind the book-rests of All Souls, Finds that Abroad is absolutely bloody.

Speak by all means with a united voice, But which it is is anybody's choice.
