Wrong Sade, wrong
This imagination you talk of is
useless to me
Imagination can’t break down
any real barriers
I write but I never believed the pen alone
could destroy institutions
[...]
And ahead of them the great springtime of mankind
the budding of trade and the blossoming of industry
and one enormous financial upsurge
We stand here more oppressed that when we begun
(points across the auditorium)
and they think that the revolution’s been won
Peter Weiss. Marat/Sade. Marion Boyars Publishing, 1982. Pp.42-43
