Gustave Boulanger
The Slave Market
extract from
The Masque of Anarchy
Rise, like lions after slumber,
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew,
Which in sleep had fall'n on you.
What is Freedom? Ye can tell
That which Slavery is too well,
For its very name has grown
To an echo of your own.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley ~
