Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rosaline De Vere, Vol. 2 of 2 Never such learned men - never men who understand better the direction of the human mind, its faculties, its powers. But this magnificent stream they turn to water their own gardens. Princes, like fair flowers, are choked up by hemlock and the deadly nightshade! The mystic poison thus distilled taints the current of the civil law. The priesthood of darkness again make trembling man bend the knee to Baal. Gibbets and dungeons offer up human sacrifices on Baal´s bloody altars. He is the appalling deity of spiritual and civil tyranny cemented. Mercy has become a paradox - justice an insult - and law vengeance. In the midst of this social anarchy, man lifts up his eyes to heaven, and calls upon it to sanctify the dagger that he holds aloft. He calls on the mercy of heaven to direct his arm, to smite down the worshippers and patrons of Baal. Oh, Sand! Oh, ill-fated youth! You who near the rapid Rhine directed a fruitless stroke, why did you not reverse your devotion to latter days, and sheathe your patriot steel in the black heart of some gloomy tyrant!
