That Revolutionary Spirit, pt. deux

"We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity." Benjamin Disraeli, Sybil.

Awesome. It excites one to read something and get that charge that used cause sparks of fire in your stomach. Salinger and Kerouac and Merton, they all provided that little stir in the soul that originally made you want to read a book in the first place. I didn't think former prime minister victorian conservative Disraeli would draw from that same pool.
(Interesting sidenote-Disraeli was Jewish, which was pretty unwelcomed in England, to put it mildly--Jews were not given civil rights until the 1850s, about 25 years after Catholics were given civil rights. Anyway. Disraeli was the first, and so far, only Jewish Prime Minister of England.)
Here is a pitcture of Benjamin Disraeli, the latest to stir the waters of my soul.
