Pagina 26 - BOWED by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world. Who made him dead to rapture and despair, A thing that grieves not and that never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox? Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw? Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow? Whose breath blew out the light within this brain? Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave To have dominion over sea and...
Pagina 26 - Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave To have dominion over sea and land; To trace the stars and search the heavens for power; To feel the passion of Eternity? Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns And pillared the blue firmament with light? Down all the stretch of Hell to its last gulf There is no shape more terrible than this More tongued with censure of the world's blind greed More filled with signs and portents for the soul Mote fraught with menace to the universe.

Pagina 26 - What gulfs between him and the seraphim! Slave of the wheel of labor; what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades? What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose? Through this dread shape the suffering ages look; Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop; Through this dread shape humanity, betrayed, Plundered, profaned and disinherited, Cries protest to the Judges of the World, — A protest that is also prophecy.

Pagina 25 - ... this same horse, worn out and old, deserted by his master, turned into the dusty road, leans his head on the topmost rail, looks at donkeys in a field of clover, and feels like a Nihilist.
Pagina 25 - I take into consideration the agony of civilized life— the failures, the withered hopes, the bitter realities, the hunger, the crime, the humiliation, the shame — I am almost forced to say that Cannibalism after all, is the most merciful form in which man has ever lived upon his fellowmen.
Pagina 24 - ... the satisfaction of his -wants. He is a mere link in an enormous chain of producers and consumers, helpless to separate himself, and helpless to move, except as they move. The worse his position in society, the more dependent is he on society; the more utterly unable does he become to do anything for himself. The very power of exerting his...
Pagina 84 - If the cultivable area of the United Kingdom were cultivated as the soil is cultivated on the average in Belgium, the United Kingdom would have food for at least 37,000,000 inhabitants, and it might export agricultural produce without ceasing to manufacture, so as freely to supply all the needs of a wealthy population.
