Two stanzas are here repro duced as an example of the 'grander, mightier sentiment which finds expres sion in Mr. Ducroy's well chosen words: Behind us like a noisome fog the past uprears With hideous pictures wrought in blackest gloom , Of famine, gaunt and grim, of hate and ail toe spawn Of hell, that bides in war's prolific womb ; Of wrong triumphant in its pride and insolence Of peace and truth expunged , of hope denied , Of love despised, despoiled and crucified . The century's gates swing outward with sonorous clang , Disclosing, all unsullied and untrod, A gleaming threshold, like the steps that slope beyond The veiling mists to touch the throne of God ; And from the heights invisible there comes a chant Of angel singing, luring men to holier things , As higher up the steps the glad world swings . and is known in Mexico as an official of Mr. and Mre.
