The Victors pale at the ghostly cry. Seized
with terror, they run, wildly howling:

— The dead arise!
— The dead arise!

"We shall yet come!" cry the dead. For they
who died for an ideal never die in vain. They
must come back, they shall come back. And then
—woe be to the victorious! King-Hunger is
indeed the most terrible king on earth, but only for
those who are driven by blind forces alone.

But they who can turn on the light, know the
power of the things they have created. They will
come, and take possession,—no longer the
wretched scum, but the masters of the world.

A message revolutionary, deeply social in its
scope, illumining with glorious hope the dismal
horizon of the disinherited of the earth.
