The pathway traced with blood and tears, and dust of all our father's dead, Whose backward footsteps, wandering, red, Fade to the mist of nameless years.(“ The Testimony of the Suns”)

About This Quote

The pathway traced with blood and tears,and dust of all our father's dead,Whose backward footsteps, wandering, red,Fade to the mist of nameless years. It is not blood that brings us together. It is our common hopes and desires. The history of nations is written in the hearts of men.
