But where are the gods to make an end to all these horrors, these wrongs, this inhumanity to man? No, not the gods, but MAN must rise in his mighty wrath. He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth."

He would be glad to see me, and would want me at his table. It would be a sincere liking because it would have a sound basis. I was back in France."
