The Statue

When we are dead, some Hunting-boy will pass
And find a stone half-hidden in tall grass
And grey with age: but having seen that stone
(Which was your image), ride more slowly on.

Hilaire Belloc

1870-07-27 — 1953-07-16 · La Celle-Saint-Cloud

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc was a prolific Anglo-French writer, historian, poet, and political activist. Known for his witty and often controversial writings, Belloc produced an enormous body of work across various genres, including essays, novels, historical studies, and humorous verse. He was a devout Catholic and a staunch critic of secularism and socialism, advocating for a distributist economic model. His poems, particularly those with a satirical or nonsensical bent, remain popular.
