“True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself is nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!”
― Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Richelieu; Or, the Conspiracy: A Play. to Which Are Added, Historical Odes. by the Author of the 'lady of Lyons'.
