“för regenternas synd pliktar folken, liksom folkens synder skapar regenterna.”

“Ur nattomhöljda tider
emot ett mål, fördolt för dig,
o mänsklighet, du skrider
i sekler fram din ökenstig!
Din dag är blott en strimma,
som lyser blek och matt -
se, framom henne dimma
och bakom henne natt!
Och släkten, där du tågar,
i öknen segna ned,
och bävande du frågar:
allsmäktige vart bär min led?”
