"The News" is too much with us; late and soon
getting and spending, it fills up all our hours;
Little we see in publicity that's ours;
and endless pinning notifications are certainly no boon.
Where once we read editions, rhythmic diurnal times,
now there's nothing edited at all,
for that's beyond the Media power --
with this our minds are out of tune.
I'd rather read a bottled note washed up by the sea,
and hear the News through Triton's horn
blasted out at six o'clock, and once again at three.
