Pois bem! Diremos a verdade ou mentiremos? Eles próprios se convencerão de que falamos a verdade, porque se hão-de lembrar da escravatura e da perturbação em que os tinha lançado a Tua liberdade. A independência, o pensamento livre, a ciência, hão-de perdê-los num tal labirinto, hão-de pô-los em presença de tais prodígios, de tais enigmas, que uns, rebeldes, furiosos, se destruirão a si próprios, outros, rebeldes, mas fracos, multidão de cobardes e de miseráveis, se hão-de arrastar aos nossos pés em clamores: «Sim, tínheis razão, só vós possuís o seu segredo e a vós regressamos; salvai-nos de nós mesmos!» Sem dúvida, ao receberem de nós os pães, verão bem que são os seus os que tomamos, os seus, ganhos pelo seu próprio trabalho, para os distribuirmos, sem nenhum milagre; ver...
