Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
As for the picture, I find it both ironic and amusing. I have no idea what the Hindi says. I thought about cutting it off and then decided to keep it. Would someone please enlighten this illiterate-in-Hindi Canadian?
The Hindi words say, "Hindustan is better than the whole world". That may make you want to move to and live in Hindustan.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous ji - Thank you so much for the translation.

How beautifully ironic.
