Applied Theatre: Arts, Action, Change

Tempests may shake our dwellings and dissipate our commerce,
but they scourge before them the lazy elements, which
otherwise would stagnate into pestilence.
Be thy best thoughts to work divine addressed;
Do something, — do it soon — with all thy might;
An angel's wing would droop if long at rest,
And God Himself inactive were no longer blessed.

To-morrow let us do or die.

If men will not act for themselves, what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all?
