Zitat des Tages von Thomas Campbell:
What millions died that Caesar might be great!
The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree.
The proud, the cold untroubled heart of stone, that never mused on sorrow but its own.
Tomorrow let us do or die!
Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, and robes the mountain in its azure hue.
And muse on Nature with a poet's eye.
I'll meet the raging of the skies, but not an angry father.
An original something, dear maid, you would wish me to write; but how shall I begin? For I'm sure I have not original in me, Excepting Original Sin.
