For there are two ways of dealing with nonsense in this world. One way is to put nonsense in the right place; as when people put nonsense into nursery rhymes. The other is to put nonsense in the wrong place; as when they put it into educational addresses, psychological criticisms, and complaints against nursery rhymes or other normal amusements of mankind.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer

Thanks for Chesterton ‘s quote! The whole essay , written in the early 20s , is brilliant and amazingly modern.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. And it gave me a nudge to provide some better sourcing for it, so there you go. Thanks again.
