Napoleon the Little

BOOK VIII
39/50

For the exigencies of the struggle, they manufactured and spread throughout the world a sort of ambuscade-morality against liberty, which Ferdinand put in action at Palermo, Antonelli at Rome, Schwartzenberg at Milan and at Pesth, and later, at Paris, those wolves of state, the men of December.
There was a nation among the nations, which was a sort of elder brother in this family of the oppressed, a prophet in the human tribe.

This nation took the initiative of the whole human movement.

It went on, saying, "Come!" and the rest followed.

As a complement to the fraternity of men, in the Gospel, it taught the fraternity of nations.
It spoke by the voice of its writers, of its poets, of its philosophers, of its orators, as by a single mouth, and its words flew to the extremities of the earth, to rest, like tongues of fire, upon the brow of all nations.

It presided over the communion of intellects.
It multiplied the bread of life to those who were wandering in the desert.
