while round about them the rabble of subjects awk-
wardly, 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.
