The Rolling English Road : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Rolling English Road "The Rolling English Road" is one of the best-known poems by G. K. Chesterton. It was first published under the title ''A Song of Temperance Reform'' in the ''New Witness'' in 1913. It was also included in the novel by Chesterton, ''The Flying Inn'' in 1914. The poem is written in heptameters. Alliteration is plentiful and "a particularly useful device in the last line of each stanza, playfully yoking the far-flung places together (Birmingham/Beachy Head, etc) and reminding us that, like a pub comic, our narrator is, supposedly, improvising his tall story. When he drops the alliterative yoke in the last stanza ("Paradise ... Kensal Green") you know he's being serious." In the final line of the poem, Kensal Green refers to Kensal Green Cemetery in London. ==See also==
