Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mercier: The Fighting Cardinal of Belgium It was the fate of Belgium to be the first and in some ways the most tragic victim of the war, but by that very fact it was her immortal privilege to become the symbol of the great cause for which the war was fought and won. To this compensation, there was added the distinction of having produced two of the great figures that the war gave to history and to mankind. One of these will stand forever as the avatar of honor; the other as the embodiment of the spiritual ideal, and these two, representing the Belgian nation, formed an impregnable bastion of truth and faith, proving the superiority of moral over physical force. A thousand years from now there will be poems and paintings and statues to celebrate Albert, King of the Belgians, and beside him there will be the figure of the great Cardinal who, while his King was fighting along the muddy reaches of the Yser, held aloft in his pious hands the ideal of patriotism and endurance and kept alive the spirit of the nation.
