If I'm not mistaken, Francis Bacon worked to make English culture fit for the Empire it was becoming. Great poem.

Thank you very much Chris, giving me the opportunity to clarify this Francis Bacon is the 20th century Irish painter, not the 15th century philosopher. Apologies to anyone confused by the poem because of the above fact.
