Though bankrupt for the moment of resources and suffering from exhaustion that will pass with the generation responsible for it, the hearts of those to come shall surely quicken in sight of promised lands denied ourselves; for, though years long and many have sped since mankind welcomed his Ages of Gold, the sunrise must surely dawn that shall herald another golden age before our tale is ended. Hope remains, and “unity,” “good willing,” “brotherhood” all promise to mean something some day, if we live to grow up.
