Now there is a spirit of great power, the Spirit of Ignorance, long shut up in a vessel of obstinate neglect, with a great deal of lead in its composition, and sealed with the seal many, many Solomons.Release it in time and it will bless, restore and re-animate society; but let it die under rolling waves of years, and its blind revenge at last will be destruction.
Longtemps prisonnière d'une négligence obtuse et plombée, si elle est relâchée en temps opportun, l'ignorance saura se montrer reconnaissante envers la société en lui procurant des bienfaits; mais qu'on la laisse pâtir des années durant, et sa vengeance sera amère et destructrice.
