Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ulrich Von Hutten: His Life and Times We recall the memory of departed friends both in good and evil times. In the one case we long for their advice and aid, in the other to make them sharers in our joy. And as with individuals, so with nations: in times of affliction and of prosperity they call up the spirits of their illustrious dead. These are mostly combatants, who have fought for light against darkness, for culture against barbarism, for freedom against despotism, to save their country from foreign aggression; and whether their efforts were crowned with victory, or whether they perished in the struggle, they are equally honoured and beloved by posterity. The nobleness of a nation depends upon its being compassed about by a cloud of witnesses of this sort, and if any nation can boast of it, it is the German. I once called forth a form out of this cloud in an evil time. It was the time when Germany was lying prostrate after exhausting throes; when oppressors, great and small, had again mastered her, when overbearing neighbours insulted her, and birds of prey were already hovering over her. It was the time of the Concordat; of that servile contract with Rome, with which, after Austria had taken the lead, the other states of Germany were threatened.
