BELGIUM REBORN
By Maurice Mdeterlinck

Writtcn shortly before the drmistice)
r IIT us forget for a moment our frghtful
IL distress, our fields, the most beautiful,
the most fertile of Europe. ravaged to the
extent that nothing said of them can give
an idea of a desolation which seems irrep-
arabic. Let us forget, If we can, the
women, the children, the innocents mas
sacred by thousands the count Of which
will astonish the world when the sinister
barrier behind which are SO many secret
horrors shall be broken.
Let US forget those who are dying of
hunger in our land, without harvests,
without homes, methodically ransomed,
pillaged and sacked to the last drop of
life. Let us forget the rest of our people,
dispersed on the roads of exile, living on
public charity, which, be it ever fra
tcrnal, so loving, is, none the less, such a
milestone in the hands of workers who
never knew the heavy weight of aims.
Let us forget, in a word, the greatest
calamity and the most crying injustice of
history to think only of our deliverance
which draws nigh.
1t is not too soon to hall it. 1t is already
in our thoughts as in our hearts. 1t is
already in the air we breathe, in the eyes
which smile upon u.s., in all the voices
which acclaim us, in all the hands
stretched toward us, waving palms; be- 4.
cause it is verify the admiration of the
entire world which delivers us!
Tomorrow we return to our firesides
We shall not weep if we find them in
ruins. They will be reborn from their
ashes and defilement. We shall know
heroic days of misery; but we have learned
that misery does not sadden the soul
which a great love enfolds and which a
noble thought nurtures.. We shall return
with uplifted head, made young again by
| a magnificent misfortune, purified by viz
| tory and despoiled Of the pettinesses
| which yelled sleeping virtues in ourselves
| and Of which we were ignorant.
| We shall have lost all the material
| things which perished, but which are re.
| created as easily. as they perish. In eX.
change we acquire that which shall never
| die in our hearts. Our eyes were closed
| by material things they are opened TO
| glorious horizons. Our vision dared not
to quit our riches, om little well-being,
| our petty habits. 1t is detached from
earth and now attains SUBMITS, once un-
| perceived.
We did not know ourselves, we did not
| rightly love one another. We have learned
to know ourselves in the wonder OF glory
and to love each other in the poigptn.
ardor of the most immense sacrifice thar
q people have ever accomplished. W.
were forgetting the heroic virtues
thoughts without leash, eternal idea
which lead humanity. ..-'
Not only do we know today that they
exist, but we have taught the universe
that they do triumph ever that nothing
is lost while faith endures, while honor
is safe, while love subsists, while the soul
yields not; and that the most monstrous
powers shall never prevail against the
ideal forces which are the happiness, the
glory and the sole reason for the existence
| of man.
