young people, so I feel like the father of a large family. I gather
them now about my knee, and pronounce upon them a benediction in the
ancient patriarchal style. Children and grandchildren of my hopes, for
ages men suffered and fought, so that the world might be turned over
to you. Now the day is coming, the glad, new day which blinds us with
the shining of its wings; it is coming so swiftly that I am afraid of
it. I thought we should have more time to get ready for the taking
over of the world! But the old managers of it went insane, they took
to tearing each other's eyes out, and now they lie dead about us. So,
whether we will or not, we have to take charge of the world; we have
to decide what to do with it, even while we are doing it. Let us not
fail, young comrades; let us not write on the scroll of history that
mankind had to go through yet new generations of wars and tumults and
enslavements, because the youth of the international revolution could
not lift themselves above those ancient personal vices which wrecked
the fair hopes of their fathers--bigotry and intolerance,
vindictiveness and vanity, envy, hatred and malice and all
uncharitableness!
