What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I delight in the war more & more. It has waked up the country out of its filthy wallowing in money (blood is a far superior bath); and it has put a fourpence on the Income Tax which will never come off it if the Fabian can help it; so that Old Age Pensions will be within reach at the end of the ten years repayment period, if not sooner. ... Charrington calls me a Tory because I declare for Imperialism as our social theory." in the context of "On the Boer War; letter to Henry Stephens Salt (12 March 1900), as cited in Dan H. Laurence (ed) Collected Letters: 1898–1910 (1985), p. 153" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
