Evils Of Ignorance Poem by John Bowring
Evils Of Ignorance
From hollowest things the harshest noises
Come forth,-from trumpet, fife, or drum;
From shallowest minds, the loudest voices
In overwhelming cataracts come!
Where ignorance is most apparent,
There stands presumption, close ally;
Where darkest folly dwells inherent,
There is the boldest shout and cry.
