Sketch of History of Turkestan 273
while round about them the rabble of subjects awkwardly, supinely, are massed, awaiting the pleasure of the gods to determine the rivalry which cannot be hid by ceremony. These people have ever been puppets. They have submitted to their own history rather than enacted it, nor have they had the wit worthily to record their woes or their weal. We know their past chiefly through the writings of the great civilising power, China.
