37. THE WORLD IS SICK UNTO DEATH
The world is sick unto death, and the sources of
Government - if we may put it like that, polluted
The blockade is the devilish anti-climax of the
war; the cold-blooded, unimaginative, concerted
actions of our rulers, into whose hands we, with
other democracies, lie like puppets, dumb and
obedient, guiltily impotent, or wickedly
acquiescent to the awful horrors done in the name
of expediency by our representatives.
