how can one man alone save his soul here on earth
unless all souls are saved together in all the world?
If one babe starves on earth, all of us die of hunger;
if one at the world's ends should raise his hands to slay,
we have all raised our hands, and we're all slayers too;
we're all twined in one root, we blossom in one soul.
