STANDING ALONE A small country may have many machines, but the people will have no use for them; they will have boats and carriages which they do not use; their armour and weapons are not displayed, for they are serious when regarding death. They do not travel far from home, and make knots in ropes, rather than do much writing. The food they eat is plain and good, and their clothes are simple; their homes are secure, without the need of bolts and bars, and they are happy in their ways. 'Though the cockerels and dogs of their neighbors can be heard not far away, the people of the villages grow old and die in peace. |
