George Orwell was very prolific - he had opinions on a wide range of topic. In this 1 he wrote about intellectual liberty attacked by “the apologists of authoritarian” & also the tide turning the writer/journalist into an officer of society that drifts towards the worship power&$
A Revivalist hymn:
Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone,
Dare to have a purpose firm,
Dare to make it known.
