• Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free. Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls. Where words come out from the depth of truth, where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection.

In to that heaven of freedom, my father, LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!
