e that in his Catholic wholeness used to call thevery flowersSisters, brothers—and the beasts—whose pains are hardly less than ours ! Chaos, Cosmos! Cosmos, Chaos! who can tellhow all will end!Read the wide world’s annals, you, and take their wisdom for your friend. Hope the best, but hold the Present fatal daughterof the Past,Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hour will last. Ay, if dynamite and revolver leave you courage tobe wise :When was age so cramm’d with menace? mad- ness? written, spoken lies ? SIXTY VEARS AFTER iy, Envy wears the mask of Love, and, laughing soberfact to scorn,Cries to Weakest as to Strongest, ‘Ye are equals, equal-born.’ Equal-born? O yes, if yonder hill be level withthe flat.Charm us, Orator, till the Lion look no larger than the Cat.
