JOSHUA, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#30][ge30v10.txt]5468

Brief "eternity" of national covenants
Choose between too great or too small a recompense
Regard the utterances and mandates of age as wisdom
There is no 'never,' no surely
Voice of the senses, which drew them together, will soon be mute




JOSHUA, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#31][ge31v10.txt]5469

A school where people learned modesty
But what do you men care for the suffering you inflict on others
Childhood already lies behind me, and youth will soon follow
Good advice is more frequently unheeded than followed
Precepts and lessons which only a mother can give
Should I be a man, if I forgot vengeance?
To the mines meant to be doomed to a slow, torturing death
What had formerly afforded me pleasure now seemed shallow




JOSHUA, by Georg Ebers, v4 [GE#32][ge32v10.txt]5470

I do not like to enquire about our fate beyond the grave
