    “In Russia there is an emigration of intelligence: émigrés cross the frontier in order to read and to write good books. But in doing so they contribute to making their fatherland, abandoned by spirit, into the gaping jaws of Asia that would like to swallow our little Europe.”

    “Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know,
    But leech-like to their fainting country cling,
    Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow,—
    A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Is my team ploughing,
    That I was used to drive
    And hear the harness jingle
    When I was man alive?”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
