I came across this verse tonight because I heard someone talking about this song by The Kinks awhile back. It fits very well following the C. S. Lewis quote....Where are the men with chests these days?? Oh , it is from the song Living on a thin Line.

"All the stories have been told Of kings and days of old, But there's no England now. All the wars that were won and lost Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore. All the lies we were told, All the lies of the people running round, They're castles have burned. Now I see change, But inside we're the same as we ever were".....Ray Davies
