I was playing golf the day that the Germans landed: All our men had run away, all our ships were stranded: And the thought of England’s shame Very nearly spoilt my game. A bit of Googling suggests that this was by Harry Graham, who wrote the Ruthless Rhymes
“Christianity is not a doctrine, not, I mean, a theory about what has happened and will happen to the human soul, but a description of something that actually takes place in human life. For ‘consciousness of sin’ is a real event and so are despair and salvation through faith. Those who speak of such things (Bunyan for instance) are simply describing what has happened to them, whatever gloss anyone may want to put on it.” -Ludwig Wittgenstein
