Then the hecatomb is preparing: let the unfit perish and only the strongest survive!" Then he added sadly, as if apostrophizing some one: "Have patience, you who left me a name and a home, have patience! I have lost all--country, future, prosperity, your very tomb, but have patience! And thou, noble spirit, great soul, generous heart, who didst live with only one thought and didst sacrifice thy life without asking the gratitude or applause of any one, have patience, have patience! The methods that I use may perhaps not be thine, but they are the most direct.

The day is coming, and when it brightens I myself will come to announce it to you who are now indifferent.

Have patience!".
