"In ancient times The people knew that they had rulers. Then they loved and praised them, Then they feared them, Then they despised them. The rulers did not trust the people, The people did not trust the rulers. The rulers were grave, their words were precious. The people having finished their work, and brought it to a successful issue, said: "We affirm the Self.""
