Today's quote

"But when I shook hands to leave, an Anarchist worker / Said: 'Tell the workers of England / This was a war not of our own making / We did not seek it. / But if ever the Fascists again rule Barcelona / It will be as a heap of ruins with us workers beneath it.'"

From the poem “A Letter from Aragon” by John Cornford (English volunteer)

Today's quote:

"These young men were the generous blood of the world. And in spite of their youth, or maybe because of it, they were also its conscience. Here was conscience in action, warning of the terrible danger which had to be confronted… Many would remain for ever under the earth which they had defended. The rest were reluctantly required to leave, as part of an effort to counter the dishonest arguments of those countries which had decided to abandon us. They left with their scars and wounds."

Antonio Buero Vallejo
