99. oldal - O, what a fall was there, my countrymen ! Then I, and you, and all of us fell down, Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us. O, now you weep ; and, I perceive, you feel The dint of pity : these are gracious drops. Kind souls, what weep you, when you but behold Our Caesar's vesture wounded ?

But Jim's dead wrong on one thing. It is going to make a lot of difference to him what kind of taxes are levied to pay for the war. And it is going to make a lot of difference to the country, too. He is wrong, too, about paying for the war through borrowing. It could be done; but he would be one of the first to suffer. Our financial...
188. oldal - I am inclined to think that my author was right; that the real end which Americans set before themselves is Acceleration. To be always moving, and always moving faster, that they think is the beatific life; and with their happy detachment from philosophy and speculation, they are not troubled by the question, Whither?
