Is this justice?
The ends of the two men were widely dissimilar--yet what is the intrinsic difference between them?
Very great indeed; the one acted according to his lights and his country, not so the other.

Tamerlane was a heathen, and acted according to his lights; he was a robber where all around were robbers, but he became the avenger of God--God's scourge on unjust kings, on the cruel Bajazet, who had plucked out his own brothers' eyes; he became to a certain extent the purifier of the East, its regenerator; his equal never was before, nor has it since been seen.

Here the wild heart was profitably employed, the wild strength, the teeming brain.

Onward, Lame one! Onward, Tamur--lank! Haggart.
