Kahlil Gibran > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.
Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave
and eats a bread it does not harvest.
Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
Pity a nation that despises a passion in its dream,
yet submits in its awakening.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
save when it walks in a funeral,
boasts not except among its ruins,
and will rebel not save when its neck is laid
between the sword and the block.
Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,
whose philosopher is a juggler,
and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking
Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,
and farewells him with hooting,
only to welcome another with trumpeting again.
Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years
and whose strongmen are yet in the cradle.
Pity the nation divided into fragments,
each fragment deeming itself a nation.”

THE BIG QUESTIONS.
IT IS INTERESTING AND TRUE THAT CRITICISM OF BRADWR IWAN HAS BEEN RATHER MUTED, ALMOST NON EXISTENT NOT LEAST IN GWYNEDD AMONGST THEIR GWLADGARWYR CYMAEG ( APART FROM OWEN WILLIAMS). I CAN THINK OF AT LEAST SIX PROMINENT GWYNEDD PATRIOTS WHO ARE TIGHT LIPPED ON THE SUBJECT, THOUGH HWNTWS ARE AS QUITE INCLUDING 'SWANSEA JAC' WHO USUALLY AS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT PLAID CYMRU TREACHERY. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CULTURAL NATIONALISTS WHO ARE TIGHT LIPPED 'GOGSHITES', ALL A MATTER OF THEIR CULTURAL 'CYMRU CYMRAEG' COLONIZING GRANTS AND THE FEAR OF LOOSING BIG BUCKS FOR WELSH LANGUAGE VENTURES BUT JAC AND OTHER HWNTWS WHY ARE THY SO QUITE WHEN USUALLY SO REPUBLICAN? ALL OF WHICH MAKES ME THINK WAS BRADWR IWAN PUSHED TO MAKE PEACE WITH CARLO FOR SUCH FINANCIAL REASONS OR WAS IT OUT OF FEAR? SO WHO WOULD DO THE PUSHING? PLAID CYMRU GWYNEDD NOT LEAST TO THE FORE LORDS WIGGLEY AND DAFYDD ELIS THOMAS MAYBE? ARE WE TO REALLY BELIEVE BRADWR IWAN BECAME A SELF INDUCED CAMBRO BRIT 'GOGSHITE OR IS THERE MUCH MORE TO HIS TREACHERY AND THUS REASONS WHY CULTURAL NATIONALIST SILENCE IS EXPLAINABLE, THINKS ON IT!
