Living
If All the Voices of Men
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)
Living
If all the voices of men called out warning you, and you could not join your voice with their voices,
If all the faces of men were turned one way and you met them face to face, you going another,--
You still must not be persuaded to capitulation; you will remember that the road runs east as well as west.
