And the would-be prophet of what is going to happen must guess the relative force of these most impalpable and uncertain things. This Braintree-Bocking boundary which runs down the middle of the road is to be found all over the world. You will find it in Ireland and the gentlemen who trade on the jealousies of the north side and the gentlemen who trade on the jealousies of the south.
Bocking, less fortunate than its neighbour, has no dustman apparently, and is left with the tin on its hands. In death Bocking and Braintree are still divided. They have their separate cemeteries.... Now to any disinterested observer there lies about the Braintree-Bocking railway station one community. It has common industries and common interests.
You will find the Bocking-Braintree line too at a dozen points on a small scale map of Europe.... These Braintree-Bocking lines are the barbed-wire entanglements between us and the peace of the world. Against these entanglements in every country the new spirit struggles in many thousands of minds. Where will it be strongest?
