The British wanted to maintain the status quo were afraid of the dissolution of the ottoman empire which they saw as a bulwark against Russian expansion which threatened their route to India..when Castlereagh committed suicide his successor Canning was more sympathetic towards the greek cause and the subsequent naval battle of Navarino 1827 subsequently brought Britain into the war on the side of the Greeks
Delacroix Horse's Eyes by Nicholas Siderakis
When viewing the painter's masterpiece (The Massacre of Chios)
Look at the Massacre !
Don't see it ?
Stare into Delacroix horse's sorrowful round eyes
They're a gateway, a portal
The horse distraught and horrified
Its white mane stained red
By Chians in bondage
Tyrants ready to sell them in Constantinople's markets

Look at the Massacre !
Don't see it ?
Stare into Delacroix horse's sorrowful round
eyes
They're a gateway, a portal
The horse distraught and horrified
Its white mane stained red
By Chians in bondage
Tyrants ready to sell them in Constantinople's
markets
Or to slaughter them like cattle by the
thousands
Oh! Look all around you I tell ya
Tears trickling down mastic trees stem
For they are living witnesses to the carnage
Stare even deeper into Delacroix horse's eyes
If a picture could speak a million words
This would be it
