Of course. Are you not aware of the fact that Poland is the Christ of Nations?
Indeed, I think we should indulge Costi with a poem about Poland written by a brilliant Englishman
(The wrongs of Poland)
In sable weeds Britannia mourning stands
O’er fallen Sarmatia’s bier; bathing with dew
Of truthful pity, the unfading wreaths
That thickly cluster round her trophied urn.
O land of heroes, could the Muse portray
A little of what thy children have endured,
Each face would wear the mourning of the heart;
All voices join in execration loud.
No pen can picture true thy mighty wrongs;
No tongue reveal the many springs of woe;
Oppression, murder, rapine, torture, lust,
All cruelty, in each appalling form:
Most deadly fruit of blind despotic rage,
That like the feigned Promethean bird of hell
By gorging human flesh more ravenous grow.
But Russia, thou! In guilt and might supreme
To deal with Thee, how shall the muse essay?
What spell, what power invoke? For words are vain.
Yet wouldst thou list awhile, thou mightst perchance
Some new-found truth like hidden treasures find
And gain the knowledge that was never thine
To know thyself, and all thou call’st thine own;
As in a mirror, thou thyself might’st view,
And learn to loathe what others see..It’s quite incredible, the words in bold are as though they have been addressed to Costi himself (:
Tell me when you start loathing what others see Costi?
