The American Chesterton Society New Chesterton stuff found-- June 22, 1905 Daily News: review of Yeats. Contains the quote: “Only the silly moderns use the word Pagan as meaning a man who will not believe in anything. Whereas a Pagan means a man who will believe in anything.”

I completely agree. Reading his book first really helped me on the path to Chesterton and where to go from there!

Didn't carae for Ahlquit's book at all. I'd give them The Collected Poems of G.K. Chesterton.
