"Water cannot extinguish the Fire that will purify the world,Nor wash away the rivers of blood.By new scourges will the world be purged of its evil.I expound happiness.I shall designate the path for the battle against the bazaar that is the present world.People have reached a dead end, but lightning will reveal the way out,And thunder will arouse the slumberers.Mountains have crashed to earth.Lakes have been drained of their waters.Cities have been engulfed by floods.Hunger shows its face.Yet has the spirit of humanity remained unmoved.Go, teach, stretch out the hand of aid! (29)"
