Halaman 261 - Dreamer devout, by vision led Beyond our guess or reach, The travail of his spirit bred Cities in place of speech. So huge the all-mastering thought that drove — So brief the term allowed — Nations, not words, he linked to prove His faith before the crowd.
Halaman 262 - There shall he patient make his seat (As when the Death he dared), And there await a people's feet In the paths that he prepared. There, till the vision he foresaw Splendid and whole arise, And unimagined Empires draw To council 'neath his skies, The immense and brooding Spirit still Shall quicken and control. Living he was the land, and dead, His soul shall be her soul!
Halaman 234 - Hence," so he concludes this long argument, " if there be a God, I think that what He would like me to do is to paint as much of the map of Africa British red as possible, and to do what I can elsewhere to promote the unity and extend the influence of the English-speaking race.
Halaman 91 - Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comcth against him with twenty thousand...
Halaman 45 - I remember, when a youngster, reading in my English history of the supremacy of my country and its annexations, and that there were two cardinal axioms — that the word of the nation when once pledged was never broken, and that when a man accepted the citizenship of the British Empire there was no distinction between races. It has been my misfortune in one year to meet with the breach of one and the proposed breach of the other.
Halaman 41 - That the intervention of Her Majesty's Government in Bechuanaland for the maintenance of the trade route to the interior, and the preservation of native tribes to whom promises of Imperial protection have been given, is an act dictated by the urgent claims of humanity, no less than by the necessities of a wise and far-seeing policy.
Halaman 203 - ... impositions placed upon it by the Transvaal Government; by the corrupt administration of that Government ; and by the denial of civil rights to the rapidly growing uitlander population. This discontent has gradually but steadily increased, and a considerable time ago I learnt, from my intercourse with many of the leading persons in Johannesburg, that the position of affairs there had become intolerable. After long efforts they despaired of obtaining redress by constitutional means, and were resolved...
Halaman 66 - I never refused the road to you and to your impi.' 'Very well,' said Jameson, 'then you acknowledge that you have promised to grant me the road and unless you refuse now, your promise holds good.
Halaman 204 - I sympathised with, and as one largely interested in the Transvaal shared in, these grievances ; and, further, as a citizen of the Cape Colony I felt that the persistently unfriendly attitude of the Government of the South African Republic towards the colony was the great obstacle to common action for practical purposes among the various states of South Africa. Under these circumstances I assisted the movement in Johannesburg with my purse and influence. Further, acting within my rights, in the autumn...
Halaman 234 - Therefore," said Mr. Rhodes to himself in his curious way, " if there be a God, and He cares anything about what I do, I think it is clear that He would like me to do what He is doing Himself. And as He is manifestly fashioning the English-speaking race as the chosen instrument by which He will bring in a state of society based upon Justice, Liberty and Peace, He must obviously wish me to do what I can to give as much scope and power to that race as possible.
