He who joyfully marches to music in rank
and file has already earned my contempt.
He has been given a large brain by mistake,
since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.
It cannot come from abroad.
If destruction be our lot,
we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen,
we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
