High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Edwin James Milliken (1839 Ireland - 26 August 1897), was a Punch editor, journalist, satirical humorist and poet. He is best known for his oft-quoted poem "Death and his brother sleep", notably quoted by Winston Churchill in the prelude to World War II when he felt that the war machine was out of control. He produced a series of comic poems published as The ’Arry Papers between 1874 and 1897. He worked as journalist on the London Figaro in 1872 and joined Punch in 1877. His creation of ’Arry, a bombastic Cockney, resulted in a successful series of poems which were hailed for their phonetic precision. Milliken described `Arry as "really appalling. He is not a creature to be laughed at or with." In 1883 he published The Modern Ars Amandi.
