[FONT=Book Antiqua]"[/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua]The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living, and just when they seem to be revolutionizing themselves and things, in creating something entirely new, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service and borrow from the names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present the new scene of world history in this time honored disguise and borrowed language .... The social revolution of the nineteenth century cannot draw its poetry from the past but only from the future."
