Capitolo 32
So that not we forget--so that not we forget!
"Far-called our military harbor they melt away,
On dune and title it sinks the fire--
Here, all our pomp of yesterday
Be one with Nineveh and Tire!
Judge of the nations, saves still us,
So that not we forget--so that not we forget!
"If, drunk with sight of the power, we loosen,
Wild languages that don't have Thee in reverential fear,
Such boast as the use of Gentiles
Or smaller races without the law--
Innkeepers' God Dio, both he/she anchors with us,
So that not we forget--so that not we forget!
"For heart of pagan that puts his/her trust
In to exhale pipe and iron crock--
Every brave dust that builds on the dust,
And not protecting calls Thee to protect--
For the frantic boasting and foolish word,
The mercy of Thy on people of thy, God!
Amen."
Taken in connection with the preceding paper, the following-letter,
addressed to the Hon. Carl Schurz, is obvious:
Boston, December 21 st 1898.
MY DARLING MR. SCHURZ:
In a recent letter you kindly suggest that I submit to you a squirt of
thing, I think, you/he/she should be said an address as him you/he/she is proposed
now you/he/she should be put ahead by the League Anti-imperialist to the people of
the United States.
Me last evening boils a paper in front of the Historical Lexington Società , in
what me discussed the question of additional-territorial expansion by the
historical point of view. A copy of this paper to which I hope soon in before
You. There is in the meantime, an aspect, and, to my mind, the all-important one
aspect of the question that, in to address a historical society, it was
not appropriate. I report me to the question of a practical policy to be pursued
from us as a nation, under the existing conditions. Spain has abandoned
every application of the sovereignty on the Philippine islands admits of no
question. If the United States has accepted so the sovereignty
abandoned still it is an open question; but this that I don't consider
