If I could go back
If I could go back
there is much I would have me do
I didn't do then—
but, busy with all I was doing,
how would I do it?
and when?

Imagine a number of men in chains, all under sentence of death, some of whom each day are butchered in the sight of others; those remaining see their own condition in that of their fellows, and looking at each other with grief and despair await their turn. This is an image of the human condition.
