Descriere completă

Excerpt from The Vision Splendid: Some Verse for the Times and the Times to Come Is the outcome of this latest world tragedy to be loss or gain? Under God, it rests with ourselves. The greatest world tragedy of all ended on the Cross in what, to the men of those days, seemed absolute loss; but that apparent loss has become life's greatest gain. So far, the world's loss in material things in this war does not bear brooding upon. But even therein the apparent loss is not all loss. Our men, we know, arc not lost, except for a brief space to us who are left. To themselves, the gain of their translation is good to think upon. The minor loss, in treasure of all kinds, may prove gain if it bring us perforce to simpler living. And - the soul of the world has been shocked at last into true understanding of the inevitable and dire results of purely materialistic aims. It has seen the soul of a great nation deliberately self-poisoned at the fount by the worship of a false ideal. The one great loss to the world so far is the loss of the German soul. Time, and the will thereto, may repair even that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
