'Don Juan of Austria has gone by Alcalar.'
"That is from Lepanto, and it is a trumpet call! But indeed the whole of that poem Lepanto is not only the summit of Chesterton's achievement in verse but the summit of high rhetorical verse in all our generation. I have said this so often that I am almost tired of saying it again, but I must continue to say it. People who cannot see the value of Lepanto are half dead. Let them so remain."
~Hilaire Belloc: On the Place of Gilbert Chesterton in English Letters.
