寓言故事|Congress and the People

来源:www.zhunnen.com 2025-01-31
SUCCESSIVE Congresses having greatly impoverished1 the People, they
were discouraged and wept copiously2.
Why do you weep? inquired an Angel who had perched upon a fence
near by.
They have taken all we have, replied the People - excepting,
they added, noting the suggestive visitant - excepting our hope in
heaven. Thank God, they cannot deprive us of that!
But at last came the Congress of 1889.
