Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Birth I Have a friend with one absorbing passion, and that is for those whom he calls "his men." How his eyes flash and gleam when he talks of them! Their bravery, their humour, their cheerfulness, and the sense of what they have done for him, are his constant theme. He has often said to me that the only course which is open to him is to give his life in the service of such men. He knows of the social inequalities of life, and hates with a bitter hatred the old social system. One night, as we chatted together, he chanted to me those words from that great poem of a soldier, F. W. Harvey: If we return, will England be Just England still to you and me? The place where we must earn our bread? We who have walked among the dead, And watched the smile of agony, And seen the price of Liberty. Which we have taken carelessly From other hands. Nay, we shall dread, If we return, Dread lest we bold blood-guiltily The things that men have died to free. "Never again": he said, "we must reconstruct our country: we need a bold policy of reconstruction." I said to him, "I heartily agree with you, but would it not be better to speak of regeneration rather than reconstruction? Can the same men reconstruct a better world unless there is a change of character? If our architects of civilisation have built a house whose foundations could not stand the strain, shall we entrust them with the building of a new one? If we are to reconstruct society, we need to realise the imperative need of the regeneration of individuals."
