Footnotes

CHURCHILL'S SPECIALLY BOUND COPY, SIGNED BY HIM ON HIS BIRTHDAY, WHILST WAITING TO HEAR IF AMERICA WOULD ENTER THE WAR. This scarce patriotic poem was produced for the Royal Society of Saint George, of which Churchill was Vice President, at a time when the London and other cities had suffered badly from the effects of the bombings.

The booklet begins with a printed poem by Churchill ("Lift up your hearts. All will come right. Out of the depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind"), which in this copy he has signed and dated in ink. On the facing page is a facsimile calligraphic introduction by Gooden: "The print reproduced here, & embellished with Rostrevor Hamilton's poem, was originally issued sixteen years ago under a simple descriptive title. Recently a friend of mine has found a new name for it, & this little booklet is the result of his efforts - made because he discovered something in the print which symbolised the feelings expressed by the poet... July 1941".
