More from De Alexander
An enthusiast broods over the oppression of a people, until he fancies himself commissioned by heaven to liberate them.
Of imposing appearance, he looked like a man formed to rule.

As he lived, so he died, a strange, lonely, unhappy man, out of tune with the beautiful world in which he was permitted to exist upward of four score years.
