Mock on, mock on,Voltaire Rousseau; Mock on, mock on,'tis all in vain! You throw the sand against the wind, And the wind blows it back again.
Imagine Rousseau,Voltaire, Holbach, Lessing, Heine, and Hegel united in one personöI say united, not lumped togetheröand you have Dr Marx.
Je¤ sus a pleure¤ , Voltaire a souri; c'est de cette larme divine et de ce sourire humain qu'est faite la douceur de la civilisation actuelle. Jesus wept;Voltairesmiled.Of that divinetearand of that human smile the sweetness of present civilization is composed.
