Читать книгу Cold War Reprise - Don Pendleton - Страница 5

Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness,

Some boundless contiguity of shade,

Where rumour of oppression and deceit,

Of unsuccessful or successful war,

Might never reach me more.

—William Cowper

(1731–1800)

It would be nice to shut out the evils of the world,

but my conscience demands that I search for the truth

of every rumor of oppression and deceit, and try to

head off all wars to make them unsuccessful.

—Mack Bolan
