Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The King´s Dream or War: Its Cause, Effect and Remedy And now, since man has fallen and returned To barbarism, where the strongest win, And where the weak creep closer to the wall And might is right, and mercy has no place - The Star of Bethlehem has ceased to shine, And Christendom has lost its law divine. And since the devastating hand of war Has burned our homes, and ruined all the land Where women starve, and children beg for bread, The soil is soaked with blood of brave young men; Rank thistles grow where once grew waving grain; Now, all our tears, and all our prayers, are vain. One day a man in arrant folly said: "To safeguard peace we must prepare for war." I say if you prepare for war ´twill come, No matter how diplomacy may watch. The hut will burn if you ignite the thatch, No matter which crown-head applies the match. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
