A Classical Quote

From Weaver I learned of man named Peguy.  I wanted to understand more about "socialist poverty".   I learned that Peguy is an interesting man - very conflicted.  Caught between socialism, the Catholic church and Patriotism (France) he had quite the ideological life.  I still don't know what Weaver was referring to by "socialist poverty" and I am pretty sure that I wouldn't agree with most of his views but as a budding Classical person I liked this quote:

Homer is new this morning, and perhaps nothing is as old as today's newspaper.

 I think Weaver would agree with Peguy here.
