More from Charles Sumner
Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
