The cry is not yours. It is not you talking, but innumerable ancestors talking with your mouth. .
It is not you who desire, but innumerable generations of descendants longing with your heart.
[…]
Enlighten the dark blood of your ancestors, shape their cries into speech, purify their will, widen their narrow, unmerciful brows. This is your second duty.
