Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in the _Century Magazine_, writes thus of the
world’s need:
Oh, love is the need of the world! Down under its pride of power,
Down under its lust of greed, for the joys that last but an hour,
There lies forever its need.
For love is the law and the creed;
And love is the aim and the goal
Of life, from the man to the mole.
The need of the world is love.
(1924)
