They said it couldn't be done. They said no human man could achieve a new years resolution such as reading a four volume history of the last two centuries.

got a Neruda poem for this too
photoset of a text titled The Enemies: "They brought guns filled here Gunpowder, they ordered the wealth Extermination; Here they found a town who sang, A town by duty and love together, And the thin girl fell with her flag, And the smiling youth fell by her side wounded, And the astonishment of the people who saw the dead fall With fury and pain. Then, on the site Where the assassins fell, Lowered the flags to soak blood To rise up again in front of the murderers. For those dead, our dead, I call punishment. For those who’s blood splashed the homeland, I call punishment. For the executioner who sent this death, I call punishment. For the traitor who rose to the crime, I call punishment. For those who gave the order to agony, I call punishment. For those who defended this crime, I call punishment. I do not want you to give me your hand Soaked with our blood. I call punishment. We do not want ambassadors Nor in his quiet home, I want to see then tried here In this plaza, on this site. I want punishment.

photoset of a poem called Celestial Poets from the Canto General: "What did you do, you Gideans, intellectualizers, Rilkeans, "mystifiers, false existential sorcerers, surrealist butterflies incandescent in the tomb, Europhile cadavers in fashion, pale worms in the capitalist cheese, what did you do confronted with the reign of anguish, in the face of this dark human being, this kicked-around dignity, this head immersed in manure, this essence of coarse and trampled lives? You did nothing but take flight: sold a stack of debris, searched for celestial hair, cowardly plants, fingernail clippings, "Pure Beauty," "spells," works of the timid good for averting the eyes, for the confusion of delicate pupils, surviving on a plate of dirty leftovers tossed at you by the masters, not seeing the stone in agony, no defense, no conquest, more blinds than wreaths at the cemetery, when rain falls on the flowers still and rotten among the tombs."

back in the news
from Hobsbawm's The Age of Empire: "Sooner or later -- in the case of the socialists, after [Bismarck's] fall in 1889 -- governments had to live with the new mass movements. The Austrian emperor, whose capital was captured by the demagogy of the Social Christians, refused three times to accept their leader, Lueger, as mayor of Vienna, before resigning himself to the inevitable in 1897."

one way in which we've been forcibly regressed to a pre-20th century country
"[In the last quarter of the 19th century] There clearly existed a general model of the desirable structure and institutions of a properly 'advanced country,' give or take a few local variations...It should be composed of 'citizens,' i.e. of the aggregate of the individual inhabitants of its territory who enjoyed certain basic legal and political rights, rather than, say, of corporations or other kinds of groups and communities. Their relations with the national government should be direct and not mediated by such groups."
