396 Tyrants' and priests' successes really acknowledged
 * anywhere, for all the ostensible appearance,

You or I walking abroad upon the earth, elated at
 * the sight of slaves, no matter who they are,

And when all life, and all the Souls of men and women
 * are discharged from any part of the earth,

Then shall the instinct of liberty be discharged from
 * that part of the earth.

Then shall the infidel and the tyrant come into
 * possession.

Then courage! For till all ceases, neither must you cease.

I do not know what you are for, (I do not what I am
 * for myself, nor what any thing is for,)

But I will search carefully for it in being foiled, In defeat, poverty, imprisonment—for they too are
 * great.

Did we think victory great? So it is—But now it seems to me, when it cannot be
 * helped, that defeat is great,

And that death and dismay are great.
